Title: Pouring out petrol !!
Post by: treewright on July 21, 2012, 09:31:11 AM
More problems, the bike is running well but has aflat spot at 5000 and again at around 6000. If I leave the fuel tap open it pours out petrol I take it that means carb overhaul time, what do I need to do? [/b]

you either have a stuck/bad float or just some crud in the float bowl keeping a float needle from closing , carbs out and good cleaning or you may be able to just open the float bowl drains and the debris will wash out .

I had the same thing with mine,I guess I was lucky and had an easy fix,I turned the fuel off and ran the engine until the carbs were empty.Its been as right as rain since,thought you might try an easy option to see if that works before a strip down.
