My name carb is leaking when running. I have changed the seals float valve, floats, cleaned it and now I am at a loss. 
Any ideas?

Sorted. It was the O rings at the joints where the petrol pipe goes into.  Leaking carb 1f603

Ah, so it was leaking out (almost) before it gets to the actual carbs! What a pain...

I'll have to hope that doesn't happen to my bike, but I fear that Andy is right - they are a getting to 'that age' now.
