mine is doing this too but only on the right hand carb. i've checked the floatsand they move fine. I guess the only fix is to take them to bits and clean them properly. :smt010

ok mate, mine was doing the same, only out of the right. Ive kinda found out what it was, the little spring on the bottom of teh shutoff valve has worn out/siezed, stopping it from shutting fuel off.

urs may well be idle jets blocked.
