NC 23 carb overflowing

Post by heehaw » Tue Oct 25, 2011 4:25 pm

One of my carb overflow tubes is pissing fuel out of it, what would be causing this and how do I fix it.

Sticky float?

You need to clean and service the carbs.

Blow down the tube - worked for me.

Will maybe still need a good cleaning out but its a quick fix.

Sorted, for now anyway. Petrol and water vapours mixing and forming slime right next to the carb on the extreme left, just with being sat on its side stand as it is the lowest point of the sir box. Similar to head gasket failure mayo but the cam breather pipe is clear, thank fook.
