Carb issues
« on: 16 April 2022, 03:17:25 pm »
Hi all


So I've re connected my fuel tank to the carbs ,turned the bike over ,then petrol starts flowing out of an overflow pipe on the carbs.

[size=78%]all the pipes are on correctly[/size]


Any ideas what to look for.


cheers

Is it possible to remove a carb float bowl without removing the carbs in full? I have a similar problem with petrol pouring from one carb and the others seemingly working as required!

it is, but its not easy. Putting the bugger back on again is even harder
