Fuel leak from bottom of carburettor 'drain screw'

Hello all,

I have a fuel leak on a RC600....when the bike is running there is no leak
But when the bike is stopped there is now a stream of petrol coming out of the pipe that comes off the bottom of the carburettor (as if the drain screw is open but it is not! :?: :?: )
Any ideas on the cause and a fix?

Thanks

Will

I think you will have a defect level-valve!! Exchange it! Bye Gottfried

stuck needle-valve is most likely the reason... clear the carb and it should fix it, if not do as hahne said, replace it...

take the carb off and remove the float, pull out the cut-off needle and clean it, you may find gum residue on it. replace parts and you should be fine.adjust the float level or if not get a new needle
