cleaned carbs still floods---what am i doing wrong?

[Len Todd]

I use stabilizer and bring the sled up to operating Temp ~ monthly during the summer. I do not drain the carbs. I figure anything left in the carbs, and in the line above them, will dry out and may cause the residue to flake. One of these little varnish flakes in the needle and you are done cause it usually floods and it is hard to run it down the trail to flush it out, when it is flooding. Then, if you do flush a flake out, chances are it will wind up in the Pilot, the smallest jet. If you are lucky, it will dissolve. If not, then you are in there cleaning or wondering why the thing idles so crappy.

Good luck! Flush and clean everything well, and you get this solved.

Thanks guys...
Not that you mention it when i popped off the fuel cap the gas smelled a little off.
Ill drain the old gas out put some fresh 93 in with some stabil marine in it and go from there.

You would think a engineering student would remember to put in stabilizer. I remembered the boat, the jeep, but not the sled
