Liverpool87 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Hi guys, I recently noticed a neat petrol smell coming from my bike. Upon closet inspection, I noticed that the rubber hose that is supposed to run from the bottom of the carb as an over flow was missing. Also, the carb is leaking fuel from this area. I have been told that it is a stuck float. I don't know a lot about bikes but I am technically minded. Is this a job I can take on myself? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool87 Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 Thanks for that its a great help. Can I get away without replacing the seal on the carb do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhatomfart Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 The seal bowl can be re-used just take any sealer off it with a clean, have a look at your jets , and float height, if not sure come back to the forum but it should all be self explanatory in the manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
