Pissing into a gale force wind :grin: That'll make your problem a lot worse.

Why do you say it's over fuelling? What carb settings are you running?

The carb overflow? If so, you probably need to check their condition and settings (particularly float heights).

If the overflow is running you probably have worn float valves.
