Cool Carb issues KE125 77

Hello I have been trying to figure out why my fuel isn't flowing into my carb, when I pull off the gas line from the carb the gas flows down just fine. I recently brought in my carb to be cleaned and adjusted to original specs, not sure they did a great job but I still have the same problem. When i unscrew the bottom plug on the carb it's dry should that part be filling up? Thanks

If the needle and seat for the float is not wedged/stuck, you should have fuel from the bowl. Check out the float height and verify that the float has not been wedged or stuck on the re-assembly.

Looks like I will have to take it apart and check, I was going to run it back to where I had it cleaned but I will look into it thanks.

If you have the same problem take it back to where the job was done. Love the KS/KE series, great bikes.

Now having additional problems with my carb I think. Had it running great for awhile I went to start it the other day it only ran with the choke on full and now can't get it started. Now if things are running smooth should I be able to pull that bottom bolt off the carb and fuel should run out, I only get like a table spoon at most then stops?
