    having constant trouble with the carburettor in the quad. its a 150cc loncin engine model. the carb constantly leaks out the petrol from the tank. have cleaned it several times and its spotless. bought a new carb a year ago and literally a few says later the same thing happened. quad parked up since but was going to pull it out again and see.

    anytime carb is taken off and cleaned goes fine for a while and then starts leaking the overflow. any advice on what to do/ causes? the needle going up and down is spotless

    Check float height and adjust yours to suit, sounds like it has been badly adjusted or adjustment altered from cleaning.
    Fit an inline fuel filter as well so you don't have to keep stripping it.

    In the workshop manual for your machine it will be listed in the specifications.
