Fuel leak

Just wondered if anyone can give me any tips on sorting out problem i'm having with fuel leaking from the carb overflow pipes ? Just recently changed the fuel tap as the old one was virtually impossible to turn on/off so got a replacement from Zpower.

Noticed the last couple of times i've taken the bike out there is a puddle of fuel under the bike ??

Cheers, Paul.

1) Float heights incorrect

2) sticky jet - This was my issue, a tiny flake, gave me an intermittent over flow from # 3 carb.
I stripped & cleaned out twice before I actually saw the little bugger.

Good luck with it
