So I've been trying to get my bike going. my carburetor keeps overfilling and flowing from the overflow tubes.

thought I finally figured it out but it would keep bogging and dying, kept taking the carb apart, cleaning, tightened the mixture screws all the way in, also fully tightened the screws next to the breather tubes. (Idk if that's correct tell me if im wrong\need to loosen mixture screws and screws next to breather)

I then felt my bike was overheating as well as kinda lurching forward like a car without coolant. I believe I was mistaking this for a bog🤷‍♂️. So I removed a hose at the bottom poured a gallon of water through to kinda flush old brown coolant out then added some more now my bike won't start🤦‍♂️

HELP!!!

 

Well I think you have multiple things going on at the same time. More often than not, when a carbs overfill it's because your float valves are not working properly. That is the first thing. They mixture screws to which I think you are referring should be set at around 2.5 turns out. That's if you are talking about the ones done near the float bowls.
The other adjustment screws as to set the sync the carbs to each other. Those should not be turned all the way in. The amount they should be turned is a variable but it is not full closed. I would try backing each one out at least two turns and see if that makes any difference. Pictures always help. If your bike has sat for a long time with fuel in the carbs, you will need to totally disassemble them to properly clean them.
The bike could be overheating because of the way you were turning the adjustment screws. If you make the bike too lean, it will run hot. If you do that enough, you'll wreck your engine for good.

 

what about the coolant did i add the coolant improperly? Because the bike was just running now its not running im just going to take the carb off adjust everything all the screws then put it back see what happen, I just hope adding coolant didnt mess anything up

 

I can't say for sure. You're radiator should be full and then your reservoir should be to the full line. For now, I'd just leave it at that. I think the no starting thing has to do with getting the carbs out whack.

 

Ok cool thanks brotha, yeap one step at a time I guess

 

You got it. Glad to help.

 

yea. as @hamlin6 has mentioned they shouldn't be turned all the way in. you can find more info in your service manual.
