I have a 1979 Artic Cat El Tigre 440. When I start it, it idles fine and i can rev it up no problem. But when I take off then it goes about 30 yards and floods itself out, shooting gas out the back of the carbs. The carbs where just rebuilt. Can anyone help me out?

sounds to me like your gas pump has gone wack

I have the same problem with a 1970 moto-ski capri

I had the same problem with my 40mm Mikuni carbs after disassemblingand reassembling so often. I finally took it to a carb shop and they told me that after so many years of doing this the seats and needle were mechanically weathered, and the float was failing. I'd suggest either getting a carb kit to replace the gaskets and float or just buying new ones.
