ok maybe it wsnt sorted.. its still coming out of the right hand overflow... ive blown out the jets and checked that teh floats are floating, what else can i check? where do these pipes go to?

mine is doing this too but only on the right hand carb. i've checked the floatsand they move fine. I guess the only fix is to take them to bits and clean them properly.

ok mate, mine was doing the same, only out of the right. Ive kinda found out what it was, the little spring on the bottom of teh shutoff valve has worn out/siezed, stopping it from shutting fuel off.

urs may well be idle jets blocked.
