Ok have a very odd issue I can't seem to figure out. Been working on this quad for weeks now.
The issue is that when the quad sits fuel overflows into air box 
Will run fine from around 1/4 throttle up
0-1/4 throttle backfires and just doesn't want to run without putting hand over  
Air box tube as if it is starving for fuel 
When I have the tank and carb off I can hook the fuel line to the carb on Pri. 
and 0 fuel overflows out of the carb

I have the vacuum petcock bypassed, have thouroughly cleaned the carb entirely, all seems fine

I'm stumped on how fuel floods into the airbox when on the quad but off of the quad the float valve seals as it should and no fuel will flow over  

As mentioned runs fine from 1/4 throttle up. It will idle for a pretty decent while the eventually stumble and die then you have to hold the throttle open to get it to crank back as if flooded

Any help would be great. Thank you all

Something is opening the fuel flow and my first guess would be that the float is having issues and getting stuck. However you said you checked it. Have you taken the carb apart and rebuilt it? Is the petcock always bypassed or you just did it to test?

Yea I've checked the float in the carb several times was the only thing that made since to me also always shuts off as it should    

Mom thinking the gas tank has some debri in it occasionally getting in   So I have a fuel filter ordered and see if it catches much 

 

I found earlier that a vaccum hose was plugged off.  Cleaned it out 

seems to be running ok again for now 

 

 

thanks

      Hi all. I have a timberwolf 250 2nd that will not start.. I thought it was out of time bc the guy I got it from said it just quit on him. The tensioner had a nut welded to it and it was like2 teeth off. I installed new tensioner and chain and it still will not start. It has fire and it will not hit off brake cleaner. It has compression. Haven't put a gauge but I'm sure it will crank and run with what it has. I double checked my work and it's still in time. Spot on. Both valves move. I'm about to put a feeler gauge on them and I'll cone back but other than that any ideas?

      on my honda trx 500 we have no power to the ignition switch for starting or ignition
      we have lights and horn working
      all fuses are fine
      have traced through the harness and cant find any broken wires or bad connections
      from what we have gathered so far the pgm fi unit is not sending any power to the fuel pump relay to power everything up.
      if we put power direct to the ignition switch plug then everything works but wth the key in the off position.
      does this sound like a faulty pgm fi unit?

      Hey everyone,
      I’m having an issue with my 2021 Polaris Sportsman 570 – the engine keeps stalling after running for about 10–15 minutes. I’ve checked the air filter, spark plug, and fuel lines, but can’t seem to find the root of the problem. It starts up just fine, but then loses power suddenly.
      Has anyone experienced a similar issue with this model/year? Would appreciate any advice or troubleshooting tips you’ve tried that worked. Thanks in advance for your help!

      After i did my rebuild it seems to not want to shift well. I think the cable is alright, and when it does shift its nice and solid. I have to basically use my hand to shift and i have to pull or push it very far, like max travel, to get it to shift. I also tried adjusting the clutch set screw. Any ideas where to go next, or maybe i should just grab a new cable to try.
