My bike is poorly - solorider - 14-07-14
Went to start my bike up last night and it has a misfire, to make it worse it was chucking petrol out of the carb over flows, so till I can have a look I dong have a bike on the road, what is annoying it was running perfectly on Friday, I didn't use the bike over the weekend.

Sounds like a stuck float. Tap the carb float bowls with the handle end of a screwdriver.

Started up the bike yesterday to see where the leak was coming from and there is no leak, so all is good again.

You could run this stuff through it to clear any residue out the carbs. I used it and it's great stuff.. Redline fuel cleaner (see ebay).
