I recently acquired 1994 Bayou 220 (leaks oil, leaks gas).  Beginning by cleaning carb.  When I took the float bowl off, the brass overflow tube is not straight (see image).  I am not sure if this is "right" or was damaged/modified at some point (although I can't image why).  I have looked for an image or drawing that would show this clearly with no luck.  Should this tube be straight vertical; and if so, should I attempt to straighten it, replace it, or leave it be (not sure if this would effect the required float level setting as the end of the tube sits just a little lower at the angle).  Prob putting too much thought into this, but any info would help!

Thanks!!FloatBowl.thumb.JPG.d1576679a0362a84a2589a0ed68c2526.JPG

It should be straight, I have a couple of chinese clone carbs for a bayou 220 in the shop and they are all straight.  I don't think it would try to straighten it though b/c that brass is pretty soft.  If it were to break off down low then the bowl wouldn't hold any fuel.  It should be fine as it is if you don't have another bowl to use.  That's just there so if the float sticks it allows fuel a way out instead of flooding the head with fuel.  BTW, that bowl gasket looks like dirty as*.

      KVF 400 Float Height
      By Travis_Smith
      I have a 2002 Kawasaki Prairie KVF 400 and im trying to figure out the actual float height... i have read 17mm +- 2mm, seen 13mm and 23mm... what is happening is it will start right up, rev a little and all is fine, when it warms and you put a load on it bogs down and sputters. no i don't have a manual

      '03 Honda Sporttrax 400EX Carb issue.
      By Dumass
      My name says it all. I have a '03 Honda Sporttrax 400EX with a new aftermarket carb on it that seems to be having issues. I can start it but it idles really rough and when I give it throttle it just kills the engine. I have tried adjusting the idle screw but to no avail. I am in the San Diego Ca area. 
      Any advice will be greatly appreciated. I would also like to get an owners manual for the thing too but can't seem to find a downloadable one.

      400ex with 450 carb??
      By Trent Finnessey
      So I’ve got a 2000 Honda 400ex absolutely love it!! I’ve had it for about a month, I ride with bruteforce 750’s, outlander 850’s and 1000 sxs’s and I was thinking of getting a trx450r carb and a full hmf exhaust. And probably doing the air box mod too, how much power would this give my 400? Just a little different or a big difference? Cuz if it’s not much of a different I’ll just stick with my dg slip on..... thanks!

      1990 Kawasaki Bayou 220 wiring issues
      By neilroy87
      I have a 1990 Bayou 220 that runs pretty well for it's age--needs a new muffler, but sounds tough.    Have had to start with a pull cord since I got it, and recently started troubleshooting the start button.  Finding a lot of information on this issue in the forum, but haven't been able to chase it down yet.  Got a new battery, new starter solenoid, and going to replace the starter relay this week, but not convinced that's going to do the trick, since I can't get the neutral light on when turning the key on.  I can start it by jumping the solenoid, but the 2 black wires to the relay do not activate the starter.  Bad ground or a short somewhere?  Is there a good way to just test the ground?
