[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 198378, member: 98"] Carb needs to be vented ....there are several reasons carb can be gassy smelling ...to high a float level and leak down to idle pull level happens right after bike is shut down ...venting the bowl helps stop this ...to be blunt the fuel shut off solenoid that everyone takes off this carb stops this ...if it’s from a early carb ...the newer shut off solenoid are just to crappy to seal anything off....I’ve been look to buy one as mine doesn’t have one ..but all I’ve seen are the crappy ones that don’t work ...my dft had the good one ...but I took it off thinking it was the thing to do ..on hooch I have the gas level low as possible in bowl and also redid the idle circuit to eliminate such huge flow to idle mix screw ...I’m sure it’s hard to follow this ....but this is probably the number one problem your having . There is also an adjustment on the secondary throttle plate setting ....that is fixed in place by epa crap mandates ...I have found that if the plate in to close per epa ...the oldwing motor can still get gas pushed on top of this plate and cause problems idling after running awhile ....on my carb there is a screw in the base of carb that can be worked to work right and adjust plate open some to always stay clear of fuel ...epa has the threads buggard up to keep people from adjusting this ...how insane these idiots are and get payed for it ....this is a huge deal really ....if it wasn’t for the epa sabotage the dft is probably the best carb ever built in my opinion..
