Stu Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 is it coming out the overflow on the carb? sounds like a stuck float valve in the carb Quote
barker Posted April 14, 2017 Author 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
Tango Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 Yep.....sounds like a stuck float in the carb...... Quote
TimR Posted April 15, 2017 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
