Couple of questions for you Beta Technophiles out there

[cello]

Carb keeps overflowing when it sbeen standing for a while, weeks rather then days. I,ve tapped the float bowl with a piece of wood to help free up the float if its snagged in the carb but genrally makes no difffernce. After a bit of warming up as she starts really easy , it seems to stop overflowing but I could be wrong as it could be collecting oin the bash plate area. Any tips on curing this , what is the proper float height ? I've cleaned the needle valve and it appears to be sealing ok when the carb is off for testing.

 

I need to fit a wrist lanyard as I think all trials call for these now , do you have to butcher the electrics to fit these as I would prefer to leave the switch gear for road legal uses shoud I got pulled by mr plod.

 

Talkin of switchgear the actual thumb switch has lost the outer button that allows you to slide the switch on /off is there a mod I could do to allow the switch to be operated ith my thumb as opposed to a little screwdriver I am currently using to slide the flush part of the movable swith that is left on the switch gear. 

 

Thanks in Advance chaps

When you have finished riding, turn the tap off and run the fuel level down in the float bowl before you stop the motor. Otherwise the evaporating fuel can make the float needle sticky. You may even have a passing fuel tap which could exacerbate this effect by allowing lots of premix to evaporate between rides. 

As for the lanyard killswitch, it can be wired in parallel with the standard kill button/switch, so the standard kill button/switch can stay.

Maybe post a photo showing the "actual" slide switch you are asking about
