	hey i drive an 02 xc sp 600 and i am getting really bad fuel milage. the carbs seem to be shooting gas into the air box rather then sucking in air i was wondering are my jsets just set too high and if so how i do i set them? Rating: 0 Quick Edit Edit Topic

	I dont think overjetting would cause fuel in the air box. I would start off taking the carbs all apart and cleaning them good, the jets too. Take them out clean it ALL up real good. Im thinking maybe your float is stuck open. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	While you have the carbs off I would take a good look at the reeds....if one is cracked or broken off you could get back pressure which would blow fuel into the air box. Question......is there fuel on both sides of the air box or one? Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	Do your carbs vent into your airbox? If they do, it is possible that the carb bowls are being flooded and gas is being forced out the vent tubes into your airbox. Stuck floats or faulty fuel inlet needle and seat can cause this problem. www.Monticellosnomobileclub.org Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit
