i noticed fuel leaking out of the throttle spindles i think ,anybody know if these run in bushes or owt that can be sorted as there is a little movement.

Fuel leaking out of the throttle spindles is a sign that the fuel supply to the carb float chamber is entering unchecked.

Fuel could well be streaming down the walls of the carb body and finding its way out via the spindles.

My first port of call would be to test the float and vave to ensure they are sealing as they should
