    well got a tank of fuel today and put my new wheels on but as i was running the bike fuel started pissing out the tube that comes out the bottom of the carb and i ruined my freshly painted crankcase :banghead: i took the carb off and gave it a clean with carb cleaner , changed the needle and the bottom plastic when i put it all back on it seemed to work but i took the bike out down my back lane and then it died , it was pissing fuel again :/ i really need some advice on this one

    is the overflow screw tight? its near the bottom of the carb. It lets petrol out when its loose

    alot of shit
    Not overflow, float bowl drain . Overflow is near top of carb.
    Make sure the bowl gasket is in good shape.
