I have what is probably a self-induced problem with the left side carb on my Rotax. I had the carb of of the engine for some unrelated work in the area of the carb. For most of the work, it sat sideways on top of the engine. At one point it was rolled over onto the overflow tube side such that some fuel came out of the clear overflow tube.
The carb has been reinstalled. With the electric fuel pump on there was no sign of a leak. Soon after starting the engine, I smelled fuel and shut it down immediately. Now even when under just the pressure of the electric pump, fuel is streaming out of the overflow tube.
Amy ideas as to what could be causing this? Could the floats be jammed in a position that would cause such flooding?
