I had a similar problem with my carb when the needle was sticking, reaked of fuel every time i started my old bike up.
Having said that, the drain screw is just above the overflow you mentioned, could be a bad screw that might need replacing? ____________________ https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=284963 - What to expect on a MOD 1 (contains video footage) - Posted by BG5067

I posted a Video in May of it running quite happily and haven't touched the engine or carb since so I'm going to whip the carb off tomorrow and give it a clean.
And will also check to see if I have a spark ____________________ Current: Gsxr 600 Srad - GS125 - DT125

Well Iv cleaned the carb again removed the jets and cleaned them set the fuel mixture screw to Haynes spec and set the float levels at 24.5mm.
Edit: Also sat the main jet in as it all looked a bit bodged so that's now set in properly.

Some squiffiness of the spring is normal and is the tension of the cable just pulling the top to one side, it will sit straight enough once it's back in the carb.
That said, there does seem to be quite a bit of tension on that - have you checked that your cable is adjusted correctly, not got any snags or crimped parts etc that could be putting tension on it? Looking at that pic it seems the cable is heavily adjusted at the carb end - try winding the carb top back upto that lock nut and slackening off the tension.
Failing that, a thought of another possibility of your problem... although I don't know the specifics of that carb' most will only allow the slider to go in one way but others will let you put it in more than one way (i.e. the right way and a wrong way). Do you have full smooth movement of the throttle or does it feel like it's already part open?
I just remember messing with a mates MT50 ( ) field bike in my younger days when first getting into bikes and we had a problem with just your symptoms that had us stumped.... turned out we had put the slider in wrong so the alignment slots were in the wrong position and it was trying to start / run on pretty much full throttle
Just make sure the slider is going all the way down and that your throttle feels normal, if in doubt try it the other way about and see if its any different |

To be honest the carb was on and off so many times changing the components and double checking earths and throttle cable and choke etc
So glad to be able to get on with it again and it's all thanks to Mark ____________________ Current: Gsxr 600 Srad - GS125 - DT125

Just a quick question, When we got the bike running again it did seem a bit on the noisy side, now Iv got my old engine which used to run as sweet as a nut albeit 5 years ago.
In that time it has mainly sat outside without the inlet or exhaust port covered is it scrap or could it be salvaged?
If the latter would it require a top end rebuild first or at least a strip down?
In the mean time here's a picture of an Air Filter

Looking good
Are they original? 50 ponds for the lot seems a bargain |

I know to most this wasn't the most exciting of Projects but I'm glad to have made this thread.
First of all I'd like to thank my mother for not swallowing me, I'd like to thank the Lord Jesus Christ for his insight, and of course myself because nobody congratulates themselves these days.
