carb problem
I have a 1969 Z50A and having a carb issue. It is leaking fuel from the breather pipe at the bottom. I have tried readjusting the float, cleaned or replaced most things that can be cleaned or replaced but still there is a steady flow of fuel as soon as I turn the fuel tap on. The bike starts and runs fine but Im leaving a trail of fuel behind. Can anyone assist?

Re: carb problem
IT could be that the tip of the valve is not sealing ,small rubber bit on top the hole may need cleaning too with a bit of wood ,tooth pick with the end cut off If it does not seal the fuel will flow for ever ,
