Sounds like the float bowl needle/cap wants adjusting

Someone will be able to explain this to you.

ok thanks for that ill try sometime 2 moz and what if it inst that what else could it be

[Jordie]

possibly blocked pipe to the jet. When you put it back on, did you blow through it and clean the inside of the float chamber? Also did the little washer go back on correctly.

Just afew ideas.
