Cheers Adrian but nothing on the 33mm float height. I have set mine at 24mm and fuel is coming out of all four carbs. Float needles look fine and its rare for all four to leak at the same time.

Any ideas guys.

Correct float height is 22mm to 24mm.

Thanks Phil,

Looks like all four float vales are worn so I have ordered a new set of 2.8 ones on line from NRP this afternoon.

Thanks again will print off and have a good read.

I had a set with exactly the same problem when i first filled them with fuel.
I tapped the float bowls and then they stopped leaking. Floats were sticking
