Default Re: running on one

Decided to give the bikes engine a turnover in the hope of perhaps having a run on it now its finally stopped raining! Noticed a pool under the bike- on tracing its source it appears to be diluted petrol/oil and the petrol component is coming from the rear carb. Have read previous threads I think the petrol tap may be the favorite cause allowing fuel down the vacuum pipe . It seems to still run fuel after I have switched the bike off so I propose that is my starting point tomorrow,
then sticking float/needle?


Does anyone have any other suggestions what may be the culprit?



Thanks
