HELP...PLEASE...Just finished putting the finishing touchs to my scoot a Lambretta 150, I decided to give her a test run after having had no problems running it in the garage :geek: , only got to the end of the road and it cut out better sooner than later i thought :x got back to the garage to have a look noticed on the carb which is a spaco PHBM 30MM (P6504) on the left hand side of the carb a severe fuel leak first thing i thought float chamber loose but that was ok the leak was coming from higher up? talking to somone about it they said sticking float, this is the overflow
Has anyone got any ideas beside sticking float?

Cheers all :)
