Hi guys why is it when my 2007 rev 3 is upright i dont get any loss of fuel , but when i leave it on its side stand idling for 5 minutes or more it starts leaking, not loads but leaves a little puddle

Check your float height sounds like it maybe to high

thanks jfc will have a look , what hight should it be

Float height adjustment is pinned at the top of the beta forum.

I don't think it's float height

Even if it was adjusted wrong it should not overflow

And remember, it probably didn't do it new and now it does so something has changed and floats don't adjust themselves

So its needle sealing, it's the only wear item in the area and it will change with time

Replace the needle (it has opened and closed hundreds of thousands of times, it's tired)

Use a Q tip and a little tooth paste and polish up the seat and of course set the float height correctly

Thanks 0007 i put a new needle float valve in about 3 weeks ago as the old one was really worn, but didnt use anything on it to seal it so thats maybe worth ago
