Fuel pouring from carb breather pipe
Fuel is pouring from my SV650's rear carb breather pipe.
Have checked float needle and it seems to move ok. Did this a year ago after standing and cleaning the float chamber sorted it. Is this the float sticking? Or something else? |

or the float has a leak.

Re: Fuel pouring from carb breather pipe
Float seems sound - no leaks apparent.
Bike OK now - found fuel tank breather pipe partially blocked - could this be the cause? |
