    Might sound a bit stupid but my carb keeps leaking ALOT everytime i throttle, and my bike wont move. I think the problem might be the float height. Can someone tell me how to adjust the height.

    My crank case got filled with petroel due to the flooding, so i emptied it all out and the carb still floods alot.

    My fuel tap seems fine because it doesnt leak when the engines off.

    the float might be stuck. that causes over flow

    that bit is working, now look for a little pin attached to the float near the hinge.. there should be somthing that looks like a nail head wiht a pointy lump at the end (this is the float valve) the float can be working properly and this fail and it would cause this.. suck the vac pipe while you have the bottom of the carb off, if the float held up stops the fuel then theres somthing esle wrong...
