Saving Old Seagulls

That is interestin-I am goint to replace the float and see what happens-I have a couple of spare engines with the Villiers carburettors as a plan B but ideally the Bing carb needs/should work Thanks again Andrew

You are correct Andrew about the float needle I did check it without the float/bowl and it was fine-I have ordered a new float but was not aware of the adjustment that can be made to a float on the Bing carb and it is not so easy to rplace the float without distorting the pin holding the float ...

I have replaced the Carburettor fuel needle on the Bing carb,and yet it still leaks/floods can anyone suggest next step please?

Although able to start my 40 plus, the carburettor bowl soon fills up and leaks fuel although I have replaced the fuel needle valve the problem persists-can anyone advise please?
