Broken Down in Coventry..,help

[earlybaynick]

Help...on way to a show and have broken down, fuel seems to be dripping from the carb when I turn the engine over but can’t see where from. Breakdown service is too busy to attend for hours..any obvious ideas folks??

Sounds like either the fuel pipe has come loose or the carb is over flowing ?

 

[earlybaynick]

No loose pipe so overflowing I think, don’t know why tho

Try posting a picture it may help someone come up with an idea. Sorry I am not near so can’t help.
Is it turning over but not firing?
if so it sounds like the carb is blocked somehow.

Is the float stuck in your carb?
Are you able to whip the too off the carb and take a look/have a fiddle?

Try tapping the top of carb where the petrol pipe goes in could be the needle valve is stuck flooding carburetter
