firstly id like to say fuck you fuck you and fuck you bearings are all done and nice and smooth however new problems have surfaced but id imagine there simple to fix....

firstly the speedo cuts out some times on full left lock(so does ignition whole thing goes dead)

secondly I started it up and it decided to piss fuel everywhere (was a bit of a relief I thought it was oil)

I think its out the carb (if the taps off it doesn't leak)

I also found a lead not pluged into anything
photos will follow

Face facts.....you bought a right shitter with dubious history and god knows what else lurking around the corner, and you wonder why the guy you bought it from sold it on so quickly.

if im honest I think I may have inadvertently done something as this was fine before

well this is how we started out


and well this is the only other photo I took as I couldn't be bothered


but here is the strange lead I found

think it said magneta or something simmiler on it?

this is the carb the fuel seems to be coming from the little nib on the right hand side


Help!

Do yourself a favour, buy a manual for the bike if you intend to keep it

That the overflow, so wrong float height, or sticking float?

Could be an overflow but they are usually a longer hose.

For the electrical connection, check all of the electrics. What works and what doesn't. That'd be a start. On my KTM if I spin the front wheel the speedo starts working, is yours the same?

You'll have to take the carb out and take the float bowl off. Give it a clean and set the float height and re-fit.

Could be a wire getting trapped by the lock stop
