Looking at Google pictures, I haven't seen the drain tube. I might try and order a bowl for a 88 Sportster, if I remember right, that year doesn't have the accelerator pump. Theres a philips screw there, loosen it, but not all the way, but alot of the way.
You'll smell the gas released down the tube. Put a small pan under your bike if you dont want it to spill. Turn the fuel valve off and just run it until it dies Close enough Find all posts by toe. The time now is User Name. Remember Me? Mark Forums Read. Main Menu. Be careful not to strip the screws. Note: You could always try using a lock jaw plier to lock onto the screw to loosen it before screwing it out with a Phillips head screwdriver.
Just try not to. You will have some fuel come out once you loosen the screws. That's okay as long as you have turned the fuel valve off! Some recommend you turn the fuel valve off, then start the bike and idle until all of the fuel in the carb is used. Then you should have little to no fuel when you unscrew the screws. First time I took apart the carb I replace all 4 of the bottom screws with Hex heads.
Metric 4x Lowes had them in the drawers. Replace the screws that holds the throtle plate cables. Top is 4x20 only found in flat head. Do you have any pictures of the inside? I mean it sure acts like there is water in it or air?? The gas station can have water in their tanks, which puts water in your tank. One truck fills multiple gas stations.
Those stations then add their detergents and additives. The truck that delivered the gas could've had water in it. No one really knows at this point until you drain some of the tank and open the fuel bowl to either confirm or rule out water as the cause.
That is the easiest and first step. Easy to see and diagnose. Remove the airbox cover on the right hand side of the bike. You should be able to look straight into the throat of the carb. See the needle coming down from the slide? If that silver thing the needle jet is not there, that could also cause this. The piece that is circled in red, make sure yours is there. Ignore the bronze thing sticking up, you shouldn't have one. Originally Posted by lunaticfringe. Page 1 of 3 1 2 3 Last Jump to page:.

Replaced it with a new one and my problem is fixed. Thanks Mahk! Also, what I've run into, is my fuel inlet is cracked. New one on its way from CVP. Do you appreciate the input and community support? Consider donating to help keep us alive and growing!
