carburetta issues

[chaza]

i have a gz 125 suzuki marauder, the carb has a tps fitted, is there a crb that will fit this bike, and do i need the tps if another carb does not have one.
i think its a k2, but they are an arm and a leg to buy new.
i went to fill up yesterday, got to the pump and there was a puddle of fuel on the floor, so i filled up and got home. fuel was pissing out of the vent pipe, so i am suspecting a sticking float and or needle.

thanks

As you’re new to the forum, did you not think it important to at least say “hello” before asking a question? Or do you not plan on coming back once your question has been answered?

Sorry i didnt mean to sound rude.

Most likely to be the float valve - it'll either be worn or some dirt preventing it from seating properly. Carb off, float bowl off, float off, remove valve and inspect for wear.

The t.p.s is there for a reason, why not clean the carb or fit a carb kit and fit an inline fuel filter as well?

Thanks for the advice, I'll strip it down tomorrow.
I heard a guy fitted a car from a gs 125, he said it all fit and worked fine, it was just a thought.

Thanks again

Carb rebuilds aren't hard on single cylinder bikes as long as you're careful. Parts are usually cheap for them too.

I'm having a bit of difficulty sourcing parts here, Does anyone know if I'm correct when say it's the km car.

Thanks

Well, I stripped thd carb down. Vacuum test on o ring was good, needle valve good, float good.
There was a bit of crud in bottom of bowl, so I cleaned it all, gave it a blow out, put an online filter, she started good, rubs good, not leaks.
So I don't know what was wrong.
Main thing it's sorted.

Thanks for everything guys

Possibly just a gasket sitting out of place. I had the when I first got my CG.
