Need some advice please - helping a buddy out with his 2005 Triumph Bonnie.
Twin Keihin CVK carbs . The carbs are joined together with bars and a balance or fuel pipe at the top by the diaphragms. This pipe has a tee in it which feeds an overflow tube . Fuel runs out of the overflow tube when the fuel is turned on
before starting but does not when running. After shutdown fuel again runs out .
Am I looking for unseated float valve and/or sinking float ? I’ve been through the Haynes manual for this bike with no results.
Previous owner had bike gone through by a dealer who had it a long time .
Seems some of the screws for float bowls are seriously buggered. Hoping to not have to remove carbs but screw issue may dictate that I do .
Thanks in advance for any help .
