Hey folks, I'm in a pickle with my carbs here. Just finishing up a custom build on a 73 tx650 frame with a mid 70's xs motor. I'm using the BS38's (for looks, against my better judgement). I have rebuilt and cleaned them, replaced bowl gaskets and float valves jets etc. Didn't mess with the choke assembly at all as it seems proper. Fuel is being delivered through a pair of brand new gravity taps with in line filters. I can NOT get the fuel to stop gushing from the carburetors. Took them apart and checked/adjusted float levels. There is no sign that the needle valves are shutting off gas flow at all. I might as well bypass the carbs and pour a can of gas on the ground. What am I missing here?
