    Hi there. Bike has been sitting idle for a couple of months during a refurb of bearings etc, fuel tank removed and carby dry. Bike now complete but leaks fuel from carby drain when bike is on a slight lean, it drips even when engine is idling. I have cleaned where needle makes contact with seat etc but no joy, any tips ?
    Thanks in advance DD

    I had the same problem and adjusted my float about 5 times and could not get it to stop leaking. Finally bought a new float needle and problem solved. For some reason the needle as not getting a good seat. Maybe an extreme case but i wish I would have just bought a new needle and saved a lot of labor and frustration.
