Take a picture of it if you can ← Sorry pal. I cant see owt bein split the bike is new, i took the carb apart to clean it due to water in petrol, have you any other ideas? theres a float inside the carb could it relate to that? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Botton left hand corner of your air box there is a hole. Shove a flat headed screwdriver in there and do up the gold screw. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials_pimp Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 whats to say it didnt crakc when you were stripping the carb? If you have had the carb apart, you should have set the float level, if you havent done that, then you could be flooding your carb, and its excess petrol spilling out.

Corish Posted September 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 I know what the problem is. It looks like a grub screw without the treads, that had a tiny bit of dirt on it and it stopped the float doing its job so the float never rised and blocked the petrol incoming hole that lead to it over flowing.. Big thanks for fast replies anyhow :rolleyes: !! Oh and it was dodgy petrol that made the bike go funny before, thank god.. thanks again.
