Default replaced the tank and fuellines...

i got the new tank in ,replaced the fuelline,sock,gaskets....today i started it up and it sounded pretty good,i checked for leaks,everything seemed ok,but then it felt like it wasnt running on all 8 cylinders.it seemed to get worse and finally it just stopped running.i checked the carb and noticed fuel gushing into the carb from the secondary side.wtf.
before i changed the fuelline,the bowls would become empty and then it would stop,now i got too much fuel.smash: :smash: :smash:

MMMmmmm crud. Had a similar thing happen to me with the Demon. Couldn't find any dirt but replaced the needle/seat and didn't have any more troubles.

That's a real bummer though. I know what a pain it can be replacing the fuel system, I had to do it when I converted to EFI.

Good luck! :cheers:
