I had my carbs off last weekend to check and clean them. Put it all back together and the bike was running fine - I've done about 50 miles this week. Yesterday started the bike and noticed fuel pouring out of what appears to be some sort of over flow pipe. Its linked to both carbs on the top and site down between then to the front. I've had the carbs back off checked the operation of the floats, they seem fine but the problem still exits.

Any ideas guys as I'm stumped?

Could be a float valve is clogged, possibly with
rust or debris from the tank. Maybe the in-line
fuel filter needs to be replaced to prevent this
from happening....

Thanks for the thoughts. I took them off and found the hose that runs at the front of the carbs, (which is under pressure from the pump) had a split where the clip fits. Obviously the hose has aged and gone soft. I just cut the hose back to the split and refitted it. Sorted.
