emissions modified, now carb overflows

Anyone have any ideas. I followed the instructions in message 33984.
Removed Seperator and Canister. Capped the two ports on the tank.
Capped the tee off near petcock. I could not find the port near
airbox, this may be the problem. Anyways, there is fuel coming out of
the clear line off of the side of the carburator. Thanks

I know nothing about the emissions stuff.
But it does sound as if the float is stuck.
drain the fuel out of the carb (gas tank petcock closed in case
petcock is damaged opens w/o vacume) and tap the carb bowl as it
drains and this may fix it.
Make sure no gas has leaked into the cylinder and then into the oil.
Though I dont' think it can on the klr.

I decalifornicated my A17 without a hitch. Only cap the red
gas tank "port". Don't use vacuum hose caps because gas will
eat right through and kaboom! Attach a fuel grade hose to
the blue "port" and down (carefully so nothing binds) with the
other hoses to bottom (this vents the system). Cap the hose going
into the airbox so
your pig doesn't run lean (it's above the battery). Your fuel system
isn't vented so it's coming out the only place it can (the clear
tube you mentioned)!

I'm having this same issue after doing the mod, i'm mean after a
tragic accident resulting in my whole emmisions system falling off.
the carb is getting way too much gas and it floods out as well as
running out the vent line, like lots, like a stream. The carb now
acts like it's flooded unless I turn off the petcock after the carb
fills with fuel. I thought that maybe there was a vacum increase due
to the removal of the emmissions can and that since vacum operates
the petcock???????? I also thought about the float issue as I did
the dynojet kit at the same time, but based on your post now I have
no idea. The hose on the airbox is in the area where the main fuses
are, big hose. not capping it would let more air into the box and
cause a lean issue and shouldn't result it fuel overflow. Mine will
only stay running if I close the petcock after the carb is full,
runs good until it runs out of fuel in the carb. I haven't had time
to troubleshoot it yet and haven't been riding. if I figure it out
I'll post it to the group.
If anyone else has any ideas please advise.
Thanks oh great and knowledgible cult memebers(at least thats what
my wife thinks)

Dr. Jacobs of Jacobs Electronics, primarily now an automotive ignition
system maker but also has patents on cardiovascular equipment, like the
first commercial pace maker etc., recommends indexing and has quite a
dissertation on the practice including dyno numbers. I used one of his
ignition systems in a previously owned '91 Dodge Dakota 4x4 5.2 liter. This
system increased my mileage by about 3 miles per gallon when I installed it
and followed the indexing procedures. Later when I sold the truck I removed
it and transplanted it into the Wrangler 2.5l, mileage was up again by 4mpg.
Somewhere I have the booklet I received with system, but maybe it's online
at Jacob's. Jacob's is still selling the products, In fact I still have the
one I bought, ex-wife got the Jeep, I kept the ignition system, gave her
enough money for gas. For sale btw, the ignition system and the ex, one's
much cheaper than the other.
