what the ????????

[dirtrider69]

ok i have let my go cart sit for about a month cause i needed to get a torqe converter belt but i tried to start the motor and oil was running out of the carb????why do you think that is or what happened??? the motor is a 6 hp tumech (sp) but i was wondering if i should take it apart or just let it sit then try to start it again???? any help is appretiated!

[Russ2251]

Sounds like a stuck float/needle or (depending on construction) float could have a hole in it causing bowl to overfill and leak out of carb. If it is just stuck, a couple of sharp raps with a plastic mallet (or screw driver handle) on body of carb may clear it. If this does not work, carb will have to be disassembled.

If you actually have oil coming out then theres BIG time probelems!

[Russ2251]

I jumped the gun here. Sure its oil? This could happen If engine was not sitting level.

[Russ2251]

If in fact engine has been sitting level, then you have to check a couple of things.
Check oil level. Is it overfilled?
If it is overfilled, does it have a strong odor of raw gas?
How long has engine been sitting and well how did it run before you stopped using it?
Did this engine smoke at all?

[kibble]

Yup, I had this happen to one of my engines because it was sitting on it's side. I don't see any reason why there would be oil coming out of it if it was sitting right side up because then it would just settle at the bottom of the case.

[Dynoracecams]

before you stoped running it did it get any other liquid in it like water gas or somthing like that

[2or3wheels]

i think it wos on an un level surface and it ran out of it, if it s oil, if not we are gonna have a mystery on our hands.

[oscaryu1]

If the breather tube connects to the carb, and it was on its side, go figger.

[dirtrider69]

i just had a brain fart i lifted it up on its rear to fix the brakes so i thought about it in school i let it sit for a couple of days so should i start it up or should i clean the float bowl...........thanks for the help tho guys

[Russ2251]

or should i clean the float bowl
Just run it until smoke clears. Might take a couple minutes. Make sure air filter is not soaked with oil. Also, check oil level in crankcase.

[oscaryu1]

Some air filters are supposed to be soaked in oil...

Well not "soaked" but oiled...

What?? was he just trying to carry on the funny? :biggrin5:

[oscaryu1]

Don't carry logs into the forest

That don't make any sense...

Like I said...

Either I didn't know, or just reposted by accident. Oh wow, am I going to jail?

[kibble]

GO TO JAIL! Do not pass go, do not collect $200. :arf:

[Russ2251]

lol

Lmao nice one :sifone:

Don't carry logs into the forest means to not be redundant. Why would you take logs with you to a forest if there was wood everywhere around you.

Webster dictionary... "Using more words than necessary" - Redundant Definition 3.

Interesting...

[Russ2251]

I now head the Department of Redundancy Department.

[jr dragster Tyler]

how did you know what russ said when it wasnt even english?

[Russ2251]

He did a web search.

[oscaryu1]

Ye. The Internet wasn't made for drooling at.

[kibble]

I beg to differ, but I often find plenty of things to drool at when on the internet. :drool5: :drool5: :drool5: :arf:

Oscaryu, redundancy doesn't just mean to use more words than necessary. It can also mean to have more than one of something in place. Have you ever heard of redundant power supplies when dealing with servers? That means that there's more than one power supply available and working at the same time in case one goes bad. Also RAID, when referring to computers and such, stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. So if you know anything about RAID, you know that you can have mirroring (the same exact data) across various drives in case one goes bad, you don't lose any of your data.

When someone says: "I just bought a new NIC card for my computer", they're being redundant because NIC stands for Network Interface Card. So basically they're saying they have a network interface card card. No that wasn't a typo. And that's today lesson on stuff. :arf: :arf:

[oscaryu1]

Haha! Nice one! :D

Why would he need a NIC? Most mobos these days come with a onboard NIC... :biggrin5:

[kibble]

ummm it was just an example.

[oscaryu1]

Yeah, I knew that. Just like being the smartass I am :p

[athif]

1 word can bring everyone off topic, lol

It means, Dont cause unnessecary work. Why would you carry logs into a forest full of logs?

Like "I couldnt see the forest for all the trees...

It's a metaphor.
