All 2st TMX Issues

Started my bike yesterday from it's long winter sleep and gas was flowing from hoses.

Took carb off and discovered float/needle were not seating. It had to come from factory like that. Owners bible doesn't state float level height. I made the floats level anyway. Does anyone know the float level height?

Also. went to drop my needle down one clip. Took a socket to back out the clip hold down nut/throttle cable groove. When you go to back off nut, it squishes the cable slot and the socket spins. Can't get the nut out?

Anyone have a similar issue?

Thanx!

I did the same thing the first time I took the needle out. Crushed the cable guide hole a little. I just bent it back and filed it our a bit and it worked good as new.
As for having the socket spin on the nut... I'll have to take a look at mine and see what can be done.
