G9 fuel coming out of hole on tickler

Post by Chris B_LAPSED »

Hi all I have a concentric 626 carb on my G9 and iv just put a new filter in it along with a new gasket put it all back on and fuel is leaking out of the tiny hole on the tickler? Any ideas what this could be please?

Hi

The gasket on the float bowl can interfere with the float and cause this - drop the bowl and check the corners of the gasket are clear of the float through it's range of movement.

Thanks mick

Strangely enough just before I was going to take the bowl off to investigate the gasket it suddenly stopped leaking and hasn't done since... strange. Ill have a look again in the morning and go from there.
