neonsurge, One cause of limescale and calcium deposits could be that normal green and blue antifreeze contains phosphates and silicates which needs to be changed every 2 years otherwise their corrosion inhibiting ability is lost. I have just bought some G12plus (pink) antifreeZe from GSF which is recommended by vw and audi for their new cars which does not contain phosphates and silicates and can be filled for "life" according to the bottle but guess about 5 years ish . Just thought it might help you in your hard water area. Try a search on google for g12 plus audi or vw, Found a cracking site once which persuaded me to get it but cant seem to find it again digger

neonsurge, try putting your bike in 3rd or fourth then rock it back and forth you can feel the clutch plates seperating most times, also pull and release clutch lever same time,then start her up , often works.

neonsurge , if you go on the dellorto site you will find the flat slide vhst carb under NEWS and Special offers .Quite pricey!

marky ,Hold your horses with the drill, friend said he never had a problem with his 01 270 rev s dribbling , no wonder! when i checked his carb, overflow spigot had a short length of tube attached bent back on itself and cable tied! the previous owner had found his own cure! thing is my friend doesnt ride trials a lot but his bike runs flawlessy! SO have you got to have an overflow? Apparently NOT! Going to put all settings back to original on my bike, block overflow and try it

It looks like a french version of the kdmototrials mikuni fix that i posted in the float bowl leaking post.

Billy, my 05 250 rev 3 p*****s fuel out! why the hell should i have to go through all this hassle with new bike? If you have all the answers why dont you tell beta or mikuni them! and sort out this problem once and for all.

Marky , go to www.kdmototrials.com, scrole down , on right hand side click on mikuni carby fix in tech tips. I emailed the author of this mod to ask why he says to only drill down existing hole at C 28mm, and if i could drill all the way through to come out at point B in so doing raising the level of the outlet (overflow)ie. instead of the outlet of the overlow being on underside of moulding (dont forget pics of carb are upside down) the outlet would be on end of moulding raising the outlet a smidgeing and hopefully cureing the dribbling mikuni. But he replied the fix was to just move outlet of overflow over 28mm ! cant for the life of me understand how that would make any difference at all.Anyway, he then said to go to trialscentral and set float height as stated in articles on beta forum and that would cure it! So that puts us back where we started from.I have bought 2mm long series drill bit to drill out carb all the way through but havent plucked up enough courage to do it yet! Might do it in foreseable future, who knows, if this bloody carb doesnt stop leaking soon I will be reaching for the drill

marky, My 05, 250 rev 3, does exactly the same, fuel almost constantly dribbling out of overflow spigot below float bowl , I couldnt make sense of the pics either thats just limiting travel of tangs, what i tried was i bent the other little brass tab which actually pushes the pointy plunger (fuel valve) up and off ,up a bit towards plunger to shut fuel of sooner ie lowering the level of fuel in bowl, it still dribbled but not so bad , but engine was pinking and knocking when throttle was rolled off, quite bad, and i did not bend tab a lot , so i gave up and bent tab back to original position . Have read all post on this topic and no one seems to have the answer . does my head in having a new bike and having to watch the fuel constantly dribbling out . dont know if this post helps you but couldnt pass up a chance of a good moan.

1) order new piston with all new seals on, from main dealer for clutch master cylinder (about
