i personally think it's a waste of a good 2 stroke. it would have been better off with a 4 stroke engine.

you know when you are retired at 60 you have the extra time you need to use.
i was reading up on how to tell if the float is bad and you are not going by the appearance.
i read that the floats absorb fuel and weigh more. i have one float that looks good. it weighs 2 grams. two floats weigh 3 grams and lastly the 4th float weighs 4 grams. heavier weights don't float as well.
anyone agree or disagree?
thanks,

Turning Wrenches / intermittent fuel leak

i've been chasing this leak out of the overflow hoses out the bottom of the float bowls on rd350b.
i have replaced the needle and seats, set float tangs to 15mm, inspected the floats for cracks or damage. yesterday it was raining so i pulled the carbs again. checked the float height again and 15mm. made sure the needle and seats had no debris. inspected the float shafts in bowls. found nothing. started looking at the floats again and found the sleeves in the floats were loose where you could remove them. picture attached. Has anyone else run into this?
thanks,
