my Honda xr125 ,has been behaving its self this last few weeks until yesterday when it decided to chuck petrol all over the garage floor , put new pipe on as the old one was split but it still does it once the petrol is turned, on once its started the leak stops

any ideas

Posted

is it coming out the overflow on the carb?


sounds like a stuck float valve in the carb

will have a closer look tomorrow must admit the carb was covered in petrol but that probably was the pipe

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 /

Vigorously bouncing on the seat also does the trick some times. :-)
