It shouldn't leak while running should it? And also if I just switch petrol off while parked it shouldn't drain over night? Ultimately will I damage it just using it this week? Park it on the flat and let it tick over mate..see if it is leaking from the over flow while ticking over.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paulus 26 Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 19 hours ago, king said: A good habit to get in..is when you park the quad up turn the petrol tap off and let the quad tick over until it runs out of petrol and stops running.. When you want to use it the petrol will only take a few seconds to fill the float bowl before you start it..it will save the petrol leaving a varnish on the jets etc.. And as said above the float is sticking down hence the petrol keeps flowing.. The Beta range of Trials bikes all suffer with the same problem, Mikuni Carbs are well known for it. Piss fuel out on tick over, They also fail to start if the bike if facing up or downhill. But your advice is spot on mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
