Re: 82 Honda CM450 carb overflow

I fixed the hole in it and now everything is back to normal.

Re: 82 Honda CM450 carb overflow

I figured it out. The brass drain thing attached to the drain screw is leaking. Is it detachable or do I need a new float bowl?

Re: 82 Honda CM450 carb overflow

It is a C i think. I am going to try and shoot some air up into the float needle seat then clean it out. I'm hoping it may do something.

Re: 82 Honda CM450 carb overflow

So I swapped the floats and float valve from the right to the left, the right side is still fine and the left still leaks. I will try shooting some compressed air up there and hopefully that will do the trick.

82 Honda CM450 carb overflow

Hello,

I have an 82 Honda CM450 and it is leaking about 1 drop of gas every second out of the left float bowl overflow. I have taken the bowl off and everything looks good. The floats are clean move fine and are in good shape.

Anyone have any ideas on what the issue can be?

Thanks,

Sean
