Hi All
I need a bit of help with the carb on my Mk2 125.
When i bought it i noticed petrol was leaking out of between where the float bowl sits against the main carb body.
I have checked the float height and fitted a brand new gasket but still it seems to leak.??
Any suggestions welcome ??
Jay

Both joining surfaces seem pretty sound, should i try smoothing them off with some emery cloth??
The reply about snapping the lugs off the float bowl, i dont understand, can you explain more??

Tghis is a funny one and doesnt make much sence. I can only think that the flote boll must have been droped and is twisted a little or something like that . With a new boll gasket and niped up tight it should be fine. Do you have a steel rool if you do try puting it along the side of the flote boll when its of and see if you can see light between the rool and the carb boll. Yoy may be able to smooth it out a little with wet and dry on the stell rool to make sure it is flat . If you do it free hand you will only follow what is allready there and you whant to make it flat and level. Thats all i can think of .

It could also be a hair-line crack........I have plenty of float bowls to fit 250 LC carbs.........dunno if they fit 125's though.
But if they do you're welcome to have one.

Hi All
Think i have sorted the problem now.
Changed the float bowl for a different one and altered the float height. Seems to have sorted the problem now. Thanks for all the input.
