I got this honda elite that had a gummed up carb. so i pulled it off got a used one and it was good to go it was running great. But i noticed it was leaking from the carb so i took it off and sprayed some carb clean took out the float and polished the pin put it back together and now i cant even get the it to turn over without spraying either in the carb and even then it only runs for a few second any ideas??? if it helps for me to post pics. of the inside of the carb let me know.
