running in rb 225 only done roughly 150 miles carb rubber has sheared in half,
managed to hold the carb on with one jubilee clip and slowly get home.
bought some reinforced radiator hose 38mm internal fitted it no leaks(air )
took scooter down the road for testing looked down and the rear floor runners were covered
in fuel!
petol was coming from small brass screw at the bottom of the carb and out of the overflow
opposite the idle screw,took the carb off removed the float bowl checked nothing was jammed put
it all back together still the same problem. any ideas.
Thanks in advance.

Tap the float bowl with a hammer a few times and see if it stops.
