The accepted diagnostic method, by all ham fisted mechanics with tool boxes
full of hammers and bigger hammers, to determine if the float is sunk or the
float needle is stuck open is to take a large screwdriver with a non metalic
handle and rap the top securing banjo bolt on the float bowl vertically two or
three times. This will almost always fix, albeit sometimes temporarily, a stuck
float needle which is more common than the sinking float. For a sinking float
you must remove the banjo bolt that you just beat the mess out of. Have a great
weekend.....

Hi Guys,
Thanks to everyone who replied to my previous query regarding polybushes.
I have a new problem now.
I tried to start the car the other night in the garage, i didn't actually
turn the engine over as i found it odd the that the fuel pump did not stop
pumping. After further inspection i found fuel was coming out of the front
carb over flow pipe, after that i left it as there was too much fuel on the
floor etc.
The fuel tank is half full, carbs are SU-HD6.
I am thinking is the float stuck, Could there be dirt in there.?
Would appreciate advice
Thanks
Connor
