That style of washer has a transmission tube called the "mode shifter" part#WH38X10017 It has a small electrical solenoid that is supposed to shift from the agitate to spin functions... The problem happens when the entire tub remains engaged for the agitation stroke. So you would see the entire tub moving like just the agitator would normally... That causes larger than normal waves that crest and come out the back left over flow tube. You probably need to replace the mode shifter.
Heres the manual for testing...

We're does the hose on the bottom of the carburetor go on a 2007 honda crf 100

The hose on the bottom of the carburetor of a 2007 Honda CRF 100 should be connected to the carburetor overflow drain tube. The overflow drain tube is a small tube located on the bottom of the carburetor bowl. It is designed to allow excess fuel to drain from the bowl and prevent flooding of the carburetor.
To connect the hose to the overflow drain tube, first locate the tube on the bottom of the carburetor bowl. Next, slide the end of the hose onto the tube and secure it with a hose clamp if necessary. It is important to make sure the hose is securely attached to the drain tube to prevent fuel leakage.

My ge washer model wjsr4160g1ww will not spin or aggitate

Hello,

A lot of times when that type GE Hydrowave washer does not spin/agitate it can simply be resolved by resetting the motor control board. This tip i wrote explains how to reset the motor inverter board and see if that resolves the problem with the washer. http://www1.fixya.com/support/r10292912-will_ge_hotpiont_top_load_washer_not

If ya try restting it and it does not work watch at the little green light on that motor board and see how many times in a row it blinks and reply with that number of times it flashes and i will tell ya what error code is being displayed

The washing machine will overflow, flooding water onto the floor. Flooding has happened 8 times, and it attempted to do it about another 5 times (I stand there and watch it and turn off the water supplies...

ive included a solution to a similar problem that i solved earlier this week, i hope you find this helpfull...

"
I am assuming this is a top load washing machine.... the load size selector button has a hose attached to the back of it. This hose goes down to an overflow box mounted to the side of the tub. This tube often gets clogged and the machine cannot tell where the water level is. 1) dissconnect the tube from the level selector switch and ( w/it unplugged ) attach another tube to it and blow into it. you should hear a clicking sound. this means your level selector switch is functioning properly. if it does not click then it needs to be replaced. 2) dissconnect the tube from the level selector switch and ( w/it unplugged ) blow into the tube and you should hear air going into the tub, ( this is best performed with water in the tub ( bubbles ) )....hope this helps

Water overflowing - GE wvsr1060a1ww top loading washer

since the water stops running in and goes to the agitation mode when you blow on the tube, it is more than likely the pressure switch - one thing to check though, put it in the fill cycle [with water running in] and unplug the power cord. the water should stop running in. if it doesn't, the fill valve is sticking open and should be replaced

GE WJRR4170 washer comes out of overflow tube on super load. It does not on Large load size. I have the front off and can see a large difference in water level from large to super size. Is this adjustable?

I have a 2005 model GE washer that would overfill only on SUPER size load. After looking around on the web, then inside the machine, I checked the tube from the tub to the switch, no problem there. Then I found an adjustment screw on the load size selector / pressure switch (all one piece). I moved it one turn clockwise, then ran a test cycle. I got lucky on the first try... no more overflow, the water comes up just above the top holes in the tub. I hope this will help others.
