Sticking Float?

[markgt66]

I'm having trouble with my 1966 GT 125, I think it must be the float sticking.
After riding for around an hour, it won't tick over and tries to die at the lights, then if it does die it's a real job to start again and when it over revs!!? Any ideas or similar problems?

not sure on this 1,but if it was the float thats sticking,would it not do it all the time?-id go for a cracked float,thats probably filling with fuel,then because its full its not rising to stem the flow of fuel while your at the lights,then when it stalls its flooding.

Cheers Andy, thats one thing I haven't checked. Glad i've waited for the first frost to start working on this!!
