Brand new at this so perhaps I should have know better but...
I took the carb apart because it seemed to be leaking from the gasket to the float chamber in the bottom of it. The gasket looked fine but there were the remains of a previous one still stuck around the edges. I cleaned this up and put it all back together, blew some fuel down the line into the carb and started the engine, using a bit of choke as it hadn't been used for a few days. It started up fine but then cut out. Now it won't start at all, it turns but just won't catch. More worryingly, there seems to be a lot of fuel leaking out of the air box! Have I just massively flooded it or have I put it back together wrong? Sorry if it's a stupid question. As I say,this is all new to me. Thanks, Paul.
