After muchos preparation.......bike now stolen! Gutted! Not even ridden it this year! 320 with 250 head, repaired airbox and yellow nutlock on a few bits! Rear fender held with catapult elastic..........helps with repair bills! YES it was locked.....NO, it wasn't insured!!

For what it's worth, ..........and probably a damn ugly fix, I am just fixing my 2004 Gas Gas rear guard with RED catapult elastic! So not only will it bend at the joint, but when it flicks back it will kill a rabbit at 20 metres!!

All sorted! Dunno what was wrong, no visible c*** in it. Popped off float bowl. Pulled out valve, looked at it! Put it back together. Now fine!! Thanks for all the input.

Carb seems level, have 'tapped' carb, bounced bike a few times, but as soon as tap is on, it p*** itself. So will go clean carb. But I did notice that the drain spout 'bulge' on the bottom of the carb, seems to be slowly hammering through the gearbox casing, as it vibrates! Is this 'normal'? Maybe I'll araldite a small metal plate under it, or wedge a bit of inner tube?

Thanks for prompt response guys! Had tapped it gently...... and the a lot less gently! Will go get spanners out.

Hi, Newbie here! Just got back onto a bike after 20 years or so, (2004 Gas Gas Raga 250) ............. Wow ! Things have changed since trying stuff on Yamaha DT's! So just come back with a big grin, having run out of gas, refilled with first tankful since delivery, and now its peeing out of carb bowl overflow. Stops when tap turned off. So I guess its a bit of **** on the float valve. Or can it just be sticking?? Or have I over filed the tank??, I know nowt about Gas Gas!! Any advice before I pull the wrong thing apart?? Thanks
