    my new jets came today for my AEROX but i am having trouble fitting them. does the carb have to be taken of or can you work on it whilst its still on. has anyone got any links or pics.

    Your far better off removing the carb, just remember where all the cables hooked up to.
    You will need to remove the float bowl and I think the jet is in there.

    i managed to change the jet in my carb but when i put the bike back together it started but cut out and then petrol came out one of the pipes coming from the carb.

    i dont know if i put the float in right and also i found this which i dont know where it came from

    that slips into the float next ot the pin and sits in the hole.. this is the floa valve wich is pushed into the petrol inlet valve by the rising float.

    the little bit at the top slides into a part of the slide then the pointy black bit goes in the hole in the pic...

    Sometimes the float sticks and you have to give it a little tap with a hammer, you'll be surprised how many people struggle finding the problem and all it needs is a tap!!! :w00t:
