125-200cc Help with float level

Hi got the WRE 125 2007.

I had various problems and took carb apart to clean and me being stupid snapped the float.

Bought new float from Husky and it's the same weight 6.5g.

So I put new float in and it drips fuel from the overflow. I have tried to adjust it to the right level via the manual and when I went for a little ride it starts bogging now and again, when i get back there is fuel flowing out the overflow.

Not sure if I am doing anything wrong.

I put the carb down flat on the floor and then measure the distance from the carb to the end of the float. I tried 23.5mm. Should I try 24.5mm? Thanks Dom

was the carb in straight,my KTm used to do that if it was slightly tilted

straight when on stand or when the bike is held straight? :P

when held upright

You have to measure it with the tang just touching the needle...laying the carb flat may not do that.

Sounds like your float level is too high.

A high float will kill the gas mileage and make the bike run rich on the bottom.

look around on the web i believe faded did a vgood description on the thumpertalk forum with pics, basically you shouldn't have anything coming out of the overflow until you tilt the bike 45 degrees, check the floats are not getting snagged on anything inside the carb.clean or rplce inlet and pilot needles a blow out with carb cleaner and compressed air.varnish build up is a pain after a bikes been sat for a while especially on a 2t with the added oil.check you petcock valve is still working correctly as well.
