Hi Listers,


Ive been playing around with my float chambers - opened the top of them - took
the float off - took the valve out etc

I replaced the right hand side valve (brass bit and plastic bit) - because I
happened to have a replacement for it.

I also found that the gasket on the right hand side was a very thin piece of
plastic - where as the other side was a thick rubbery one. Now to me that
means that the float is higher up - so Im guessing that wasnt good - however
surely I must had adjusted this when I tuned them. Not sure on that one.

So now its all back together - but fuel is gushing out of the fuel overflow
hose - I can only think that something is wrong with the left hand
float/valve. Ive taken it apart again - but still its doing this.

Any ideas?




James
