Petrol coming out of 1 carb breather/overflow pipe

Post by Streetburner »

Can anyone help with this problem, Petrol coming out of front carb breather/overflow pipe when started up. Bike has been stood for 4 months now . Moved to Spain over last few months hence bike has been in storage.
Someone suggested using an airline to blow up pipe, possibly petrol gunged around needle. Any ideas before I do anything. Thanks in anticipation.

Haven't got as Storm yet so I dunno, but on other carbs I have removed the fuel feed and blasted in Carb Cleaner, then done the same through the drain hole, and this seems to fix things if that's all it is.
