Dragster 70 - Flooding Easyily

My Dragster floods, and as a result, obviosly wont start, really easy. Anyone any ideas?

 

i dnt know how to fix it but when it floods take out the spark plug and start kicking down the kickstart as if you was starting it and it will get out all the petrol

 

Thanks for that May well come in handy
Its got a 70 kit fitted, a 21mm Carb (i think), if thats of any help?

 

im not to shore but it could be your getting to much petrol did you up jet your bike

 

I got the bike as a present from the parents, they got it of eBay, the 70kit was fitted prior to me getting it. So im not sure, ill get my Dad to have a look at it though, see if it was Up-Jetted
Cheers

 

floods when?

when its been sitting allnight?
or when your trying to kick it over to start it?
or while its running, cuts out and wont restart?

 

Um, i would see a mixture of all three of them to be honest.
Quite often, it till run, for, lets say 5 seconds, then cut out, then wont start again.

 

are shore it keeps flooding

 

Well, after i take the Spark Plug out, its very wet with fuel, after a clean. It starts fine. So, yes, as sure as i can be

 

flood

hi,maybe float wrong height-stuck or float needle stuck

 

I doubt you would be over fueling the engine
Probably its just your carb not set up right.
take the float bowl off (bottom of carb) and see what main and pilot jet sizes you have in there.
Also your choke could be stuck on, 'flooding' your engine..

 

Thanks for the help lads

 

i think its oil seals.....

its got the symptons, check by seeing if there leaking atall

 

It could be a slight split in the float??? Just a guess and it could be worth checking also it worth cleaning the carb while you're there

 

I will have a good look around it one night this week
I wont be on the road with it, till Friday. Got suspended from school, so not in the best books with the parents

Thanks for all the help (Y) Appreciated
