Hi, I have just bought a 110cc pit bike if a friend but it needed a little work, iv just replaced the Carb, throttle cable and throttle assembly, so now the bike starts but for all of about 5 seconds then it dies out, then I noticed that petrol was leaking from the air filler, I would really grateful for any help [/b]

your carb is flooding the motor.

take the bottom of the carb off check the float moves freely, then pop the float off and make sure the float needle and iits seat are clean. the needle should have a smooth conical tip with no ridges or shouldering.

reassemble the needle and float then check the float height. this varies carb to carb, but around 15-20mm is a start.

You didn't by any chance connect the fuel line up to the carb breather, did you?

I only ask because I've, uh... seen it done.
