[QUOTE="davidd, post: 30547, member: 1177"] Craig, I use a remote float so I do not have much experience with the fixed float bowl. In my experience what you describe occurs when the float level is too high in a remote bowl. However, it seems to me it would also occur if the needle and seat are leaky, because the carb in both cases is receiving too much fuel. Grinding seems a reasonable option, but it would be nice if someone who has done it would chime in. It might be useful to check the seal with the float bowl off to verify the problem. You can also mark the height of the fuel and check it for a match to the carb. I have used both Burlen and Surrey Cycles for spares. I tend to prefer Surrey because I can call them and chat about the problem. [URL]http://www.surreycycles.com/index.htm[/URL] David [/QUOTE]
