Fuel is coming out of what i think i have identified as one of the jet pipes on the carb. This happens as soon as i turn the Fuel tap on. It was coming out of a pipe in the middle inbetween the 2 Jet pipes but then i realised that someone had not bothered to put the pipe coming from the Fuel tank back on. So now it is coming from this jet pipe. Anyone know why that would happen?

err, all i can think of is ure float is stuck, no doubt some one with more experience with the bikes will come along and set you straight.

Can this be easily rectified? I am OK with Cars but not up on Bikes.

yer, carbs are pretty simple really. Just gotta take it apart and free up the float, then be abit careful when you put it back together again.

i could be wrong, im not familier with the TZR carb yet, but thats what it sounds like to me.

sounds like a stuck float.whip off your carb, and undo the float bowl,you will see the valve attatched to the float, you need to take it out of its hole and clean it and the seat, then put it all back together, and try it out.it may take several attempts before it is done properly, but that should sort it

It released itself first time. Sprayed some WD40 down it and left it. Took me about 15 minutes in all to do it this morning. Took the bike for a test and it almost seems better for it.
Thanks everyone for the answers.
