Re: Vent hose from carb leaking on 1991 fe290 engine
Mine did that for a long time. Ended up getting a new carb and fuel pump and that fixed the problem. Good news is they're relatively cheap.
I'm sure someone on here can give the the technical reason that it's overfilling the carb and draining out. |

1992 was the first year for the FE290. If your cart is a '91 you should have a KF82 flathead motor.

The reason for leaking from the vent,or as most call it the overflow, is that the fuel inlet needle is not sealing off,could be worn part's or float sticking
