https://i48.tinypic.com/9lgbj7.jpgGot the side panel off and stripped and cleaned the carb out and put on new spark plug but its still cutting out after abit. l have a spark as l took the plug out and checked it against metal, l also have a good compression.
l have noticed however that the overflow pipe is leaking fuel out as you can see in the photos l have put on here, well l think it's the overflow pipe at the lower right of the pictures with a small screwdriver l have plug into it.
Does anyone know what the other two are on the left, and what could cause the overflow to leak fuel and could this be why the bike keeps cutting out.ray 316

l,m on about the small pipe in the middle and the lower left pipe, l think the lower right is the overflow pipe where fuel is seeping out

Where does the lower right one come from?

The one in the middle looks like the overflow to me.

The one at the bottom is the drain. Undo that screw at the bottom middle of the carb there and what's in the float bowl will come out of that drain.

Looking at it again, you know you don't have the fuel pipe connected to the carb don't you?

Does the fuel *pour* out of that 'overflow' you mention? That could be the fuel feed to the carb.

I think carvell is right, from what i can see, it looks like the bottom right pipe that you have the screwdriver in, should be connected to the carb at the top, so instead of the fuel going into the carb, it could be coming from that pipe, you might have mixed up the overflow pipe and the one that feeds the carbs.

Ok, I'm no expert on carbs but surely if you connected the tank to the overflow, fuel would just piss out everywhere Confused

Everything looks plugged in right, although I couldn't say exactly what the stubby pipe in the centre is. Fuel coming out the overflow is usually a stuck float, strip and clean the carb and check the float height. Plenty of videos on youtube to show you how Thumbs Up
