adjusting float levels on demon
l can't figure out how to adjust the float levels on my road demon...... every time l try to adjust it, it just pisses gas out the top of the carb, any suggestions?

Is it pissing out of the vents by the top of the bowls?If so,float level is way too high.Try to loosen up the float screws a tiny amount then turn the nut clockwise 3-4 times just to get the floats down to see where you are at.

take the float bowl off, turn it upside down, loosen screw, turn nut until top of float (actually the bottom when it is upside down.), is about a pen's width away from the top (bottom when upside down)of the bowl. Then, put it back together. Turn car on. The fuel level should be in line with the bottom line of the three etched on the bowl. If it is not. loosen screw just slightly, and turn nut amll amounts until it lines up. Hope that helps

ok- thanks a lot for the response guys, youre right its sqirtin gas from the vent, l've tried monkeying around with the screw and nut, but it doesn't appear to adjust the level of the floats at all.... l'll pull the float bowls off though and try that. The gas isnt real far from the site glass level, its a little underneath it. the primary sight glass is low, but the secondary is right where it should be, could this be a result of the motor being not perfectly level?
