Mk2 Polo Coupe.

[Stuffing]

Anyone good on carbs , mine are flooding, been told its either the floats or the float vlaves but got no idea where to start. Their GSXR 600 Carbs, idealy a diagram would be nice!

Try club polo mate, they're usually pretty friendly and there are a few guys on there that have done the carb conversion.

Have you got a fuel pressure regulator? If they're getting too much fuel pressure then they'll flood...

what fuel pump are you using, you obviously need a carb pump, and with a regulator as the standard car pump will be too powerful (even the mechanical one will be) dont forget that the bike will be gravity fed so any pressure is too much pressure for the floats. i think about 2 psi is ideal

the carbs as standard will probably be piss lean on a standard car engine as the car wont flow enough air to draw enough fuel with the standad bike jets, try dropping the needle or raising the needle on the slide, just take the top off the carbs, then pull the big spring then slide out, then the needle should be on a circlip, if you lower it you lean it off, and vise versa. will give you an idea if its lean or rich

Wow.....at this rate your going to know bus drivers by first name basis

the walbro would bend the floats and probably kill all the seals lol.

get a carb pump on there asap

apparently, when converting a polo to run on bike carbs, most people set up so that it runs in a circuit back to the fuel tank, placing a T-piece in the line, this then ensures the pressure actually getting to the carbs is relatively low... People have been doing this on club polo with no issues...
