2000 big bear carb issues.... Frustrated
Hey fellas, I'm still workin on getting my big bear up to snuff. Long story short, I had the carb worked on in October and now it's leaking from the vent tube and the pilot screw. Takin it back to the shop is out, I have a thread on that issue in the general section. Anyway, I took it apart today and tried to clean it a little. After much fighting and fussing I managed to get it back in and I started the motor. I let it run for a while, and no leaks. But as so on as I shut it off, it started leaking. To make things worse, it seems to not run quite as we'll as. It did before hand so I'm worried I screwed it up worse. This was my first time taking a carb apart and I didn't have much luck. Does anyone have any advice for me? Thanks.

Carb leaking
The float needle is only adjustable by bending the tab that moves it. The main needle is adjustable by raising or lower the c-clip on the top of the needle.
To check the float needle blow or put some low pressure air into the fuel connection on the carb then raise and lower the float. With the float raised there should be no air passing through the needle. With the float lowered air should pass freely.

I feel your pain.
I bought a set of open end wrenches with a ratchet box end on the other end at Harbor freight. That sure makes a difference for carb removal and a lot of other places.

Are you talking about the float bowl screws being striped?
I bought a bag of stainless hex metric screws a long time ago and have replaced those worthless float bowl zinc screws that they use.
I'm chasing an air leak right now on the mini I got for the grandkids. I traded some stuff for it but am thinking I should have just bought a new one so I know what I have to deal with.
