    Help needed - pocketbike broken

    I've just got a chinese pocket bike and it ran well for awhile but after a crash (damn trees) it's now pissing fuel out the carb over flow hose and it won't start, what needs fixing? I'm stumped

    cheers Matt

    ah I don't know bro, but first check how much a new carb is.. prolly 12 bucks or something daft.. if so just for out for a new one.

    What exactly happened in this crash?
    Did you nip a tree and fall of?
    Is the bike damaged? Crab not cracked or anything?

    the bike fell on its side so I stopped the engine. then when i turned the fuel tap on again to start the bike, fuel was pouring out the over flow hose and it wouldn't start. doesn't seem to be any damage to the bike visually.

    Check the float in the bowl.

    Yep 98tls is right, the float is stuck and not closing fuel supply.
    A couple of taps on the fuel bowl usually fixes it, other wise drop the bowl off(2 screws) and blow out.

    cheers.
