Mikuni TM32 gas overflow, need help rerouting the fuel

Post by bradthreee »

Hey Guys,

My Mikuni TM32 is overflowing from the drain tube. I know that my issue is not the float, but it is most likely the angle of my carb. It's a brand new carb.

I want to reroute the excess fuel back into the system. I have an electric fuel pump, and was thinking of running a T fitting between the gas tank and the fuel pump.

What are your thoughts?

You can but the overflowing is from either a stuck open needle or a maladjusted float level and will cause you running issues and mpg problems.
