81 750k ss carb trouble (over flow)

mviv88
This is my first honda 750 and love it

The #2 carb is puking fuel out of the over flow. i have cleaned everthing out, but the float is a plastic one that doesnt seem to have a way to set level just a solid bar with no way to bend. needle looks good and there was no trash. just cant figure it out
Also the throttle is very firm and sticks would it be in the adjustment at carb or in handle itself?
thank you

   The 81 carbs are different than mine but sounds like there may be a piece of dirt on the needle or seat for the float. May need a good cleaning. On the throttle, disconnect the cables on the carbs and see if it works freely then. You may need to oil the cables, could be carb linkage or slides sticking.

It turned out to be that fuel regulator thing on top of the carbs. it had a tear inthe top diaphram and waspumping fuel back into the bowl replaced with a brass T and works great
just rode it for thefirst time today day and freaking love it
thanks though
