Hey gang.... I have a '99 Super E on a S&S 113ci. The bike has been running fine short of the carb last week suddenly went so rich i fouled 2 sets of plugs
in 24 hours. I got the carb dialed back in with the exception of a faint pop.
otherwise, the bike ran fine.
so the other night i'm riding, (cold weather) and i pull up to a light. this guy rolls up and sez "good lookin bike, but you're leaking something bad".
turned out to be gas pouring out of the over flow on the carb..... i shut the line off and trailered it home.
i pulled the bowl off of the carburator tonight. everything looks fine. the float is free moving, no residue that i can see. no debris, nothing.... the bowl gasket is even clolored all the way across except around the overflow port. all along that edge there's a lighter pattern in the gasket. it dosen't go to the edge of the gasket but it does go to hole where the over flow port comes through the gasket.
is it possible that there's enough pressure in that bowl that the gas could "pour" out of the over flow the way it's doing?
logicly, i'm thinking the gas goes from the pump then to bowl. that would support the pressure on the gasket theory . but if it goes to the bowl, <gravity> then the pump, then i don't have clue what the problem is.
the bike is a 99 ultra ground pounder with only 1000 miles on it. ( i just got
it) there's a residue buildup behind the air intake so there's definately been
a lot of blow by. but the carb was set so rich, i can see why.
anyway.... the float looks fine. so what's the problem? why was gas pouring out
of the over flow???
