Carbs are dumping fuel

In the Shed

Hi Gents.

Got a 85 VF1000FF slowly coming back to life. Issue at the moment, when it fires it starts dumping fuel out the air breather line on the carbs. Looks like it’s flooding back left cylinder too, (#1). My thoughts are a stuck float on the back left carb. Any thoughts?

All the best.

Please check;
First… sticky floats, float valves and float level adjustment, to secure there is no fuel overflow.
Second… CamShaft positions and alignment if valves are removed for maintenance.
Good Luck

Turns out float needle was held off by a piece of seal breaking down. Problem solved, thanks for your advice. She runs like clockwork now. :+1:t2:

My issue was the float not shutting fuel off when the bowl was full. So fuel kept coming though until it had to be dumped out the breather. Only thing I can suggest is make sure all the floats are free and not stuck or sinking.
