Question Carb floods at 12 oclock! Any remedies/mods available??

Hey guys,

The carb on my fiddy floods in a matter of seconds after I put it in the 12... Forget about doing a 12 burnout, as soon as I give it throttle in the 12 it floods,bogs and shuts off. I see so many videos guys smoking the tires in the 12, ape hangers etc. Is there a mod that can be done or whats the deal??

PS I keep my **** serviced, fresh plug and carb cleaned regularly

Thanks!
Pete.

If you run a tube from the vent on the gas cap down the frame it helps. Just zip tie it back by the shock pointing down. It cured mine! I forgot where I got the idea from.

They say at fiddy life to run a longer vent hose off the carb, and add a fuel filter.

float height is the proper way, it will help to stay on the gas, and also either turn off the gas before 12'ing or turning it to reserve.
