The air / fuel mix screws are these brass ones.

Matt_Harrington:
Neil, did you sort your overflow issue?

Neill C:
Excellent. I found them hiding behind the fuel hose. Thanks for your hepl

Neill C:
Yes. The float bowl overflow went away after a couple of hours riding. It was intermittent at first then went away completely. I'm hoping that the pin on the float sorted itself out and somehow has straightened itself out.

davidcumbria:
Glad it sorted itself out but I have to wonder if the problem was some debris between needle and seat clearing through eventually. Saw earlier in the thread that in line filters in the feed from tank are problematic. To avoid this very problem I was thinking of using them in my rebuild. Is it the consensus view that they cause too much difficulty with flow rate?
