Help needed fuelling

Post by Kev44 » Sun Aug 03, 2014 3:49 pm

Ok getting close to finishing the cafe racer and got to the point of flicking the start button but while cranking it pisses petrol out the exhausts?? I have double checked tap/pump from a few pics any ideas chaps? All comments and pics gratefully recieved :?:

Couldn't see anything wrong but it works now :D

Well decided to road test and soon as I put into gear it stops I thought must be cos I've took side stand switch off I did pop plug back into socket and cable tie plunger in but still the same?
