250 hornet carbs refuse to stop overflowing

[motorbyclist]

ok, new inline filter installed, fuel lines flushed until blowing into the overflow no longer sent air/fuel out of the fuel line and started her up.

all seems good

will ride her to uni tomorrow and see how she goes

so how's she going after a good run?

mint! fuel filter did the job and fits nicely under the carbs without having to add any more fuel line - cost all of 8 bucks from cycletreads.

Taking off from two sets of lights i dropped a cylinder. Seemed to come right though (probably after hitting reserve tank). She sits happily at fairly high revs without starving of fuel so the filter hasn't created any new problems either


So i took it up SH16 where the gear lever fell off just before wellsford, and then ran out of gas on the way back to auckland cause i left it in reserve after filling it up.... then after the AA rescue i hit reserve tank, having thought it was already on it, so thought it broke again but all good

Crikey, that poor lil'ol'hornet has been a mite sick! Hope that is the end of the dramas and well done for being resilient and presevering through all the trials and tribulations!
