2002 CR125 carb

[CRLover]

Im having trouble with my mikuni carburetor on my 2002 cr125.  It leaks gas out the overflow tube continuously while idleing, but not while riding, as soon as I crack the throttle it stops for awhile, but starts again when it idles back down. Could the float level be off? I didnt have this problem last fall. I cleaned the crap out of that carb, so I know theres no dirt in there. And I just rebuilt topend over the winter, greased the linkage and steering stem  etc.  and did all the regular maintenance stuff.  Any help would be appreciated.       Thanks Dan

Probably time for a new needle and seat in your carb (not too expensive).

yep you could have also accidentally buggered up the float level. I'd give your float tab a quick little adjustment before buying a new fuel valve.
