Anyone know what it is? I was thinking maybe the clear tube trick would work, but not sure. I tried searching all over for a manual when we got it. Guess I may have to break down and buy one. When I got it about a year ago it had gas dripping from the overflow when I looked at it. Figured it was no big deal we'd just shut the fuel off when not riding. Well that doesn't always happen lol. I have to say its my fault as much as my daughters. She got it out today and had trouble starting it, so I messed with it for a few. Could tell it was getting to much fuel. Pulled the airbox lid and tada.... half full of gas. Filter is shot. Oh and its a 1989
Quadrunner 160 float height?

The clear tube may be an idea!
If it has been sitting for a while there could be a varnish buildup on the needle and seat not stopping the flow of fuel.

From what I understand it was sitting a long time when I got it, so I tore the carb down and cleaned it a couple times, among other things. Since then it hasn't really sat more than a month without running. Thanks Awk I didn't think of just looking for the carb... all about how you play with the googler

I looked up the VM24 and it doesn't look the same as mine. Mine actually has a choke cable that comes into the top. Well the airbox is nice and clean now, and it now has a drain lol. Looked at the sight on the crankcase and its over full too.
not a float height but OOPS ?????
I MADE A MISTAKE AND PUT 99 AND 3 DIFF CARBS SHOWED UP? ,TRY IT

Now I am confused and giving up for the evening. Took the carb out and it measures about 23mm. Of course it should be an even number so wtf. So I decided to go ahead and pay for the manual download (I'm not sure how or if I can put it on here to share) According to it, it should be a vm20ss. The manual has 2 different id numbers 02c00 or 02c01. Guess what mine is 02c02. Anyway I'm gonna try the level there (25.8mm +-1mm. Hopefully it works out for me!

So far it seems to be working. The only worry I have now is the clutch. Its an automatic with the foot shifter (not sure what the name is for that). When I drained the oil it was thin and damn near filled a coffee can. I figure it prob had close to a quart of gas in it. I poured about half a quart of oil and let it run right out and took the oil filter out. I think I'll have my gf grab some more oil in town this week and I'll change it again. It didn't wanna downshift when I took it on a test drive, seemed to upshift fine tho.
Thanks for all your help awk, and you to speedy. Its actually spelled centrifugal.. lol. I knew that much and was gonna call it semi-auto, but that felt like a fire-arm reference lol. The oil I run in it is $10 a quart so that'll be another $50, but I'll follow advice of a master lol

just use cheap dollar store 10w-30 to do the ride/flush procedure, then back to your high dollar stuff afterwards
Old post but are all the 160s semi automatic. Looking at one for my wife she says had to be automatic but maybe a clutchless quad will work.
