Daz,
What position do you leave your fuel tap in? In one position (cant remember which: help here guys) it lets fuel flow freely from the tank, so this could cause the carbs to overflow. Should be left in the 'on' position. Just a thought.

That's right, should you leave the tap on PRIME The Deluge of Gas is sure to follow.

Could be float height, leaking fuel cock (diaphragm), split in tank, cock left on prime (oo err
)

fuel tap in the on posoition no fuel till you crank it over no leaks on the paddock stand only on side stand so i guess this is looking like float hight gulp easy or hard ?
its not realy a leak its coming out the top hose on the carb (the overflow)
i have not mentiond this only happens with engine running

this sounds like the float valve is worn
