My YB has been has been peeeing fuel out of the overflow pipe for a while now, so i took the carb off today and discovered that one off the floats is letting fuel in, hence not shutting the float valve. anyone know where i can get new floats or a new carb?

In the meantime you could try repairing the leak if its eay to get to with a hot 'knife' to melt the plastic (if the floats are plastic) - obviously be careful as you are working with petrol soaked parts - so dry them off thoroughly). Otherwise try some of the bike breakers - I got a load of stuff a couple of years ago from Ed's Bikes - sorry don't have the number but you could google him, or try ebay - he's on there sometimes.

My YB always pisses petrol out of the overflow............thought it was just normal with these bikes!!!!

thanks for the help.

They are made of brass, i found the leak, there was a section that had began to rot away and had little pin holes in it. I have re-soldered it for now but i dont know how long it will last

My YB doesn't drip from its overflow to my knowledge, I thought it was purely a cautionary thing but I will check when I head home and see how my carb is all set.
