L9 Fuel Spilling from Carb Overflow

Post by Xanadu »

Hi all,

Has anyone come across a issue with fuel spewing out of one of the carb overflows ? 1+2 seem fine but 3+4 fuel is pouring out.

Taken the fuel box off and checked the float, all seems fine moves freely, so im sort of stuck as to what to look at next, its been sat in the garage since before xmas and we have had some very cold nights so could maybe be some form of seal gone ?

Thanks

Seems to me that your needle valves are passing.............

I am having nearly the same problem, but mine is only dripping.

I have whipped the carbs off but can find nothing wrong, the needle valves appear to be working, as are the floats and the carbs are very clean.

The float bowl rubber gasket seals have gone a bit hard, so can someone tell me where I can get a set of seals, without paying a fortune?
