May seem an obvious answer to my question but I would just like to put it on the forum in case someone has some thoughts about this problem. At times, not always, when I turn on the fuel it floods out of the bottom of the float bowl. Correct me if I am wrong but the brass overflow tube in the float bowl empties out of the small tube cast into the bottom of the float bowl and is not controlled by the float bowl grub screw used to drain the float bowl? Correct? Therefore it must be the float valve leaking? So why is this worse after the bike has stood a while - small leak from the float valve? Is this a common problem possible due to the float not having the strength to close the valve properly? Can this be adjusted to make the float press harder on the valve?
Any thoughts?
