Petrol out of every orifice!

As soon as I turn the petrol tap on, petrol pisses out of all the breather pipes on my Mikuni.......is it just a sticking float?
Thanks in advance, Chiggy

hi, sounds like your float to me cos i had the same problem when i first fitted my mikuni. take your float bowl off & check that the float needle is seated correctly & also that the 2 plastic floats are both in the right place to push up against the 2 long brass 'arms' so that they shut the fuel off when the chamber is full. hope this helps & makes some sense !!!
