Hey guys,

So a few times now on my NSR I have gone to start it and have had to kick and kick and kick, then once it fires fuel shoots out the stingers and of course all over the bike!

I have forgotten to turn the fuel off a few times and had this happen but now its starting to do it even with the fuel off. I have tested the petcock and it works fine.

I suspect the needle and seats in the carbs. When I first got the bike I inspected them and set the float levels, they seemed to be ok. Three or four times now I have gone to my bike only to find a puddle of fuel underneath it. The lower cyl must have had the piston up and the fuel leaks out the exhaust flange and down the pipe.

Any ideas on this one?
