Stu Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 is it coming out the overflow on the carb? sounds like a stuck float valve in the carb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barker Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 will have a closer look tomorrow must admit the carb was covered in petrol but that probably was the pipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimR Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Give the carb bowl a few gentle taps with hammer handle / screwdriver handle to see if this cures it ( can dislodge the piece of crud thats causing the float to stick / Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
