- | ==== Overflow Tube ==== | ||
- | The overflow tube is a safety feature in case the float needle does not prevent flow and the bowl gets full. ((IXL2Relax of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2071025)) \\ | ||
- | It prevents the fuel from being pushed out of the carb float bowl, into the carb/manifold, and filling the cylinders (or crankcase) with the overflowing fuel. \\ | ||
