well been just been looking to get the xe started. connected the fuel pump and had loads of petrol comeing out of the carbs. only thing iv connected to the carbs is the fuel in pipe nothing else.
is there anything im ment to connect?

can just about see all the petrol comeing out in this pic, is comeing out just below the trumpets/air inlet,
can see in the second pic, there is like a half round part split in 2 right below the trumpet part, is there supposed to be a cover on this?

Looks like fuels pissing out of the jets. Maybe the float bowls have overfilled.

On your last pic, is that the fuel supply pipe in between the carbs?

If so its the wrong place, the supply is under the carbs just a single brass barbed pipe,


EDIT red circle is the supply pipe, thats the only one you need connected

Looks like youve connected the fuel supply to a pipe where the carbs are vented to atmosphere.
