Nick Jones Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Is this a 1200 with a Solex? Probably float level a bit high . Fuel expands when hot and overflows through main jets down the carb throat, effectively flooding the thing.Check and adjust float level as required - in the meantime when starting hot, slowly open the throttle to full then crank until it starts (release throttle as soon as it fires)Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
