    after reading and searching the forum, i can't seem to find an answer. im buying a typhoon next week but the only problem with it is that the overflow pipe on the carb leaks a little bit of petrol, is this common. and am i right in thinking it could just be float height?? cheers guys

    yeah, its either the float height or it could be the rubber seal on the carb isn't sat in the groove properly and it's weeping down the back of the float bowl and down the overflow pipe and dripping off the end.


    there is a small chance that the float valve is worn but it's unlikely to cause any problems. carbs for these are easy to get hold of.
