Sounds like the fuel pipe has come off the carb connection due to going at high speed,hence pushing more fuel through.
Maybe they have split, or they may have just slipped off.

[Barn]

where is it coming from?

not being funny but were all the hoses put on properly and tight?

[Mr.h.]

every thing is on corectly!all pipes r fine!just spoke 2 scoob who i bought the weber of n think it sonds like the float is stuck?im gonna take her 2 a carb specialist 2mo n c what they say?

[Adam]

Yeah it could be that. But deffo take it to the carb specialist and get it checked out, don't bodge repairs involving petrol.
Also is the throttle cable etc moving freely.

[Mr.h.]

i wouldnt bodge it bud thats not my style!if i have 2get her rebuilt how much do u think i will b lokkin at?

[Adam]

Well you need one of those weber re-build kits which i think are around the ?30-40 mark.
Then you can either re-build it yourself, or get a garage to do it. But obviously the garage will charge whatever they want.
On the carb are all the throttle linkages etc moving freely, none of them are stuck open or anything.

[Mr.h.]

all workin smoothly mate none r stuck?its defo inside where the problem is me thinks?

OK mate, so the prob is deffo gonna be inside the car. Good luck, hope you get it sorted :+:

[Mr.h.]

ill let u know how i get on! cant believe ive broke a weber in 3days :oops: Cheers mate

[MechaT]

Definately sounds like stuck floats fromwhat you said. Did you say you actually took the carb apart and checked the floats?

[Mr.h.]

no aint takenher apart shes still on the car!took the air filter off though n could c the petrol pissin in

[Mr.h.]

Problem solved lads! 1of the screw bolts that hold the base of the filter on had vibrated itself loose n bounced into the chamber,n stopped the float from comin bk up! :( All good now though took her apart n all sorted now! :D

[Adam]

Glad to hear it, so all that had happened is that the screw from the air filter fell down inside the carb and stop things closing back up.
Luckily it was nothing serious :+:

[Mr.h.]

yeah exactly that very lucky really thanks 2every1 4 there replys nice 1 lads :D
