carb flooding

Either the needle valve is worn, sticking, has some crap in it or your float level needs adjusting.
They take ages to wear out so it's probably not that.
Mine does it occassionally too. I just adjusted the float level a bit lower by bending the metal tabs.

Coops

Inspect the needle and seat connected to the float. It is probably stuck.

Same thing happen to me about 2 month ago on my 02. It was the float valve.
My bike was losing gas out the small overflow in the back of the carb.

You might consider buying one of those



And even one of these:

I would replace the valve. If you don't have a local Husaberg dealer its pretty common part. I got one at Motoxotica it had a husky part #. The weblink in the post above is great shop.

I got the Valve for $30 USD the rebuild kit is about $20 USD

HusaPemby, sounds like the symptoms I had. I monkeyed around with the carb as well, sent it to our resident expert Dale Lineaweaver, and it helped but did not fix my stalling issues. It even was ridiculous at times. For instance I could not ride in technical stuff like rocks, I would stall every 10 seconds, and if I fell on the right side, the bike would be a pain to restart. I had to have the idle on high and it did not help of course, as it made the bike hotter.

My SEM was just rewound by Sparks and it started on the second kick, even with a carb that was just cleaned and reinstalled (therefore not primed). Although I did not ride around with the bike yet, I can guarantee you it is running 10 times better, and all I did was running the engine in my garage (I would have gone for a little ride if it was plated).

So get it rewound, it's an order.

Also you might want to rebuild the carb, it's not going to be time wasted, if it was never done.
