On my 2004 solid lifter engine I can only manage 50mm or 2" as it is the older
style exhaust system which has the 180 deg bend Cheers

Hi Brad
-
There is a cork gasket between the carb and the float bowl. Drop the float
bowl and check the gasket doesn't have a twist in it. And check the float l
evel at the same time.

Received: Tuesday, 28 April, 2009, 6:45 PM
I noticed a leak from my carby last night after a 1-hour sunset flight. Th
e
gas dripped from the bottom of the float chamber. Today it was dry. I
inspected all lines and connections with the fuel pump on. Nothing leaked
except the float chamber. It is not a flowing leak. Just wet enough to ca
use a
drip every two minutes. Kinda like condensation on the side of a cold beer
can
on a hot day. The drip stops after about 10 minutes. So, after the drip
stopped I dried the side of the chamber and started the motor without the f
uel
pump on. Same result. A leak and drip on the side of the float chamber.
Any
ideas on how to stop the leak, or what is causing the problem? I would like
to
take it to Jabiru's distributor for a look, but I am hesitant to fly with a
gas leak of any kind. Even a slow leak. Thanks for any help.

And while you're dropping the float bowl, do it carefully so that you
can see just what the fuel level is. After you have the bowl off, go
one step further and remove the float and needle and see if there's
any VERY small object on the needle or the seat that could be causing
the drip, then reinstall.

It doesn't take much to cause a too high float level.Any foreign material that
can get stuck between the needle and the seat will do it.But the fix is just
as easy.Drop the float bowl,that allows the needle to hang clear of the seat,put
a rag under the carb to catch the fuel,and switch the electric pump on and
then off ,That should flush any foreign material out of the contact area between
the needle and seat.You can do the same thing without removing the float bowl
IF you have a fuel shut off valve.Shut it off,run the engine until it quits
then turn on the fuel again.

Good idea for flushing out the debris, but if the float bowl is left
on, the debris will be left inside the bowl, and could cause further,
or different problems.

I had the same overflow problem as did a friend of mine.
The fuel pressure is over whelming the float needle. Bing has several float
needles with different springs at the end next to the carb float. Originally
mine had an orange tipped needle with the weak spring. I changed to a black
tipped float needle and the overflow was cured. My friend tried changing to
the black tipped float needle but only had some success.
There are two Bing floats a white one and a black one. The original is
white, the black exerts more force and when he installed the black float,
his bowl overflow stopped. You can get both items from Bing. My engine ser#
is 988. 40mm Bing.
