Default Colorado mechanic

Hey so Im tired of trying to figure out why my bike's cylinders keep getting flooded. If you feel competent enough to try to tackle this problem or know of a mechanic that lives near Arvada/ westmister, let me know.

I figured I would give a fellow cbrf member the opportunity before some shop.

my email is rynedude233@gmail.com

Have you posted in the main F3 forum about your problem?

If I understand your post your cylinders are getting filled with fuel correct? The carbs float bowls are overfilling and leaking into your motor. Its really not that big of a job to remove them(the carbs) and replace the bowl parts. Your float valve may be worn allowing fuel to leak in, or the seat the valve rests in is deteriorated and allowing fuel in. Or could be the floats are not adjusted correctly and don't stop the flow of fuel til its all-ready draining into your motor. Which ever is the problem, it should be a rather easy fix.
What have you tried doing yourself? If you dont want to mess with the carbs yourself, but dont mind removing them, that may save some money for hiring a mechanic to find the problem and fix. Then again, to test you need your bike, so maybe not the most helpful comment. let us know what you plan to do, and what you have already done. good luck and don't give up!
