How to remove smog equipment

SOURCE: carburetor fuel flow

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Initially, to your queries:

• hook up all the vacuum lines - yes or cover/plug all
• to stop fuel flow - hooking up all the vacuum lines or covering/plugging them would be technically correct but will not stop the flooding/fuel overflow;
• run correctly - with constant overflow/flooding, it will not run correctly.

• faulty valve pins, worn out rounded pyramids, necked/indentations on the surface of the rounded pyramid, cracks (rubber type);
• worn out inlet port;
• dirt, sand, foreign object lodged against inlet port hole;
• mis-adjusted floats;

Yes, it sounds EXACTLY like a stuck float. You may be able to fix it yourself depending on how accessable the offending carburetor is. Quite often you can free up a stuck float by setting up a bit of vibration. Give this a try > tap the side of the carb repeatedly using the plasitc end of a screwdriver. You are not looking to hammer the thing to death, just create minor shocks. The shocks / vibration will often free up a stuck float. Please rate this solution and let me know if all went well.

SOURCE: How can I tell if my Fork tubes take fork tube oil

Most forks take Automatic Transmission oil ("ATF").
Most new motorcycles don't have drain holes for it is almost impossible to remove all of the oil through such an opening.
If the forks aren't leaking and are working, don't disturb them. If they are leaking you will need to remove and service them. This should be only done by a shop or someone who knows how.

Worn rings is the most likely cause.
