[QUOTE="macvette, post: 110199, member: 262"] Do you have plastic floats in the monoblocs? I had a similar problem though the bike did not stop completely. The plastic floats have /had,a slight ridge caused by the injection molding process which caused the float to jam in the down position on the casting for the float chamber cover screw at 7 o'clock. This resulted in flooding. I found out when I made a perspex cover to see what was going on. This happened on both new carbs on my twin and another member of our local mcc had the same issue on an Aerial. If it is this, carefully sanding the ridge off cures it. I did talk to Burlen about it but dont know if they did anything. Mac Mac [/QUOTE]
