Most people only plug the carb drain when they ride deep. I leave both mine and the wifes bike plugged all the time. But if your jetting is off and running rich it will dump the excess gas in the airbox if the drain is plugged.
carb drain vent line???
i have everything on my atv snorkeled exept the drain line that goes out from the bottom of the carb, but what i was wondering is if you can stick a screw in it and leave it there without taking it off if i cant what is another way i can keep this vent snorkeled???? any input is appreciated

I take mine off when towing, didnt used to, but had the airbox fill with gas once so I dont want to take a chance anymore.

Robb I forgot about the hauling, I have filled mine before. So now I turn the fuel off and plug the snorkles when traveling.I take mine off when towing, didnt used to, but had the airbox fill with gas once so I dont want to take a chance anymore.

I am running a 170 jet, air/fuel screw is turned out 2.5 turns. The only thing that I'm not positive about is my needle setting, I paid a local shop to rejet my carburetor last year. Should've saved my money, they stuck in a 165 jet so Ichanged it to a 170.
What should I do to remedy this? Is it my air/fuel screw or could it be my snorkel?
I've tried plugging my carburetor drain tube twice and each time the airbox has filled up with gas. I replaced my plug yesterday with a NGK Iridium and the one I pulled out was really black. It ran sluggish on top end when I took it down the road and back.Most people only plug the carb drain when they ride deep. I leave both mine and the wifes bike plugged all the time.
