gday fellas just bought a new bse 140 with mikuni carb when i filled her with petrol then turned fuel tap on petrol started to pour out of the bottem hose.

bottom screw is all the way in.
tried different screw same thing happend.
i blocked the hose then carby flooded.
took 4 a quick spin anyway at slow speed petrol still comes out but at high speed it stops then i come to a stop and it starts again within ten seconds.
turn the fuel tap off it emptys the carby then stops.
i have not touched the carby yet.

any and all advice would be appreciated as im at my witts end and about to ripe that little sucker apart.

thanks.

bad news, ya bowl float is stuck, you can try turning off the fuel draining the petrol out of the carbi via the little screw at the bottom. then tighten the screw and turn the furel back on, if this doesn't fix it pull the bottom of the carbi off by the 4 screws and push the float so as it frees up, if you are skilled you could try and place a small bit of petrol in the bowl whilst it is apart and put it back on so the float will float. REMEMBER how things go before you take them apart

Take the carbie off (2 bolts) unscrew the throttle cable and undo the 4 screws holding on the bowl. Then just wiggle around the float.
