Petrol everywhere

Post by fatpete »

I have just tried to start my NC30 after a good strip down and clean including the carbs. It wouldn't start and scarily petrol was gushing out of one of the air vent pipes to the carbs, soaking the engine. Any idea why it would start doing this now?

cheers

Cheers for that, checked the pipes and plastics and they all look ok, will have to strip it down at the weekend and see what's going on with the floats. :pray:
