Try/borrow a different carb.

I went out to take the cover off and I'd left the petrol on because there's a puddle.

Float needle not sealing?

[Bilko]

Thanks Colin. I took the plug out, as expected, wet. Took the carb apart. Float needle seems to be moving ok. I took it out and fired some compressed air through everything.

It's running now and I'll have to keep an eye on it.

I don't know what else to do. It'll be inpossible to try another carb.

It's developed a bogginess up to half throttle.

Do you think it was just badly flooded Bilko..

[Bilko]

Yes indeed, flooded.

I had a leaky seal on the bottom of the carb. Sorted that now.

I was thinking of the float too because of the leak and poor running.

I need to try and sort the running out now.

Thanks Lads.

Possible second issue.

I was trying out with clip positions and then it wouldn't start. This time I popped the plug out. No spark. The last thing I thought of was the plug as I had a new one die on me midweek. But, I put on another old one in and it worked.

I'll keep an eye on it.
