02 800 lockup

klim man · Dec 8, 2014

me and my buddy got my 02 800 rmk going last week after adding a bunch of goodies. I deleted the very-flow system (nothing but problems) the we got the idle set and called it a night, went to start it couple days later and it was locked up. pulled plugs the pulled and fuel shot all over. pulled head to find out cylinder was plumb full of fuel. pulled exhaust and j pipe was also full of fuel. why is so much fuel running in there? carbs? going out west over new years so need this thing dialed in ASAP

For whatever reason the floats in the carbs didn't stop the flow of fuel at the carb and allowed it to fill the engine.

Double check your veri-flow work and the float needle and seat. Also check the vent for the fuel tank and make sure it isn't plugged as well.

Otherwise just turn the fuel off and you shouldn't have that issue again.

yeah definitely going to start turning the fuel off.. where is fuel tank vent located?

Some vari-flow systems have a vent hole that was tapped into the top of one of the carbs. You would want to either plug that up or get a new carb cap plate.
