Posted - 12/04/2009 : 17:40:48 hi all spent two years rebuilding my stag , , nearly finished so i thought i'd give it a run round the block , managed it fine only a couple of misfires , bought it back to garage checked under bonnet and to my dismay petrol leaking from the right hand carb . I removed the air filter and there's petrol all in the inlet manifold , i turned the ignition on and as the fuel pump runs it pours petrol out of the breather pipe into the air cleaner . Has anyone any ideas ? I have removed the ofending carb thinking the float had stuck but thats o.k I'm sure i am mising somthing obvious so i thought i'd ask . thanks john
