leaking fuel from carb overflow.

[rabman6]

Hi can anyone help. I have a 125cc honda twin and if i fill it with petrol to quick it pours out of the overflow at the back of the carbs.There is two valves but it seems to leak from nearside valve any suggestions…p.s the bike still runs fine when the leaks stop.the fist time it happened is when i dropped the the bike …OOPS.

floats probably filled with petrol – they have a small hole in the top to allow expansion/contraction of air inside, if its been laid over it may have filled up – take off carb, strip bottom off and either shake petrol out of it or just leave it in the sun for a few days and it will evaporate. A hair dryer will also get rid of it but be careful you dont ignite the fumes
