1983 KZ550 Gasoline overflow problem
Ron S. said 2019-05-30 20:17
When I started my KZ550 after the winter, it starts to run but stalls out with a lot of gasoline dripping down from the engine, forming a puddle. I am guessing that one of the 4 carbs has a float stuck, but the carbs don´t have overflow tubes coming out the bottom like my KZ400 and KZ440 carbs do. Tried taping on the float chambers, but still stuck. Not sure where the gasoline overflow is supposed to come out on this bike, but seems to be coming right out the bottom of the engine. Any ideas?? I dread taking off the 4 carbs - probably not as easy coming off (or going back on)as my 2-cylinder KZ´s. Any ideas?
