Why is your motocross carburetor flooding?

Backfiring is an indication of lean mixture (not enough gas). First thing to do is make sure you don't have any leaks in the exhaust system at the head pipe or the muffler joint that could be pulling in cool air and contributing to the back firing. Second thing is you want to make sure the air jet passages in the back of the carb are clean and the pilot jet is not partially blocked. Third is, assuming step 1 and 2 are ok, put in some fresh high octane gas and richen up the pilot jet.

be shure gun is unloaded ! pull the hammer back to full cock. open lever about 1/3 and remove the screw that holds the lever in (pivit screw),remove lever handle. pull bolt out slowly (may have to hold hammer past full cock). the ejecter spring is under presure but pulling the bolt out slowly will release the presure remove the bolt remove the ejector spring with a small pair of neddle nose pliers or nimble fingers. on assembly be shure install ejector spring in the hole and hold it their with a finger and install the bolt to hold it in place. the rest is just reverse directions. good luck. Go to the following webb site to see a diagram and instructions....it might help along with the previous advice........ http://www.urban-armory.com/diagrams/marlin33.htm If it is a 39A model, put on half-cock safety, unscrew the takedown screw, separate the two halves of the gun (they may be stuck together pretty well. Lay gun on your lap, with the receiver flat lever towards your knees - smack receiver with the palm of your hand to the right of the half-moon shape seam. Make sure your knees are far enough apart that the gun can "fold" in the center. Once halves are apart bold can be easily removed. On newer models there is a screw or pin that keeps it from falling out, on my older 39A the bolt practically falls out.
