Hi guys, got my 325 in, but it's like it's overfueling, will only re-start when I disconnect the fuel lines for a bit..? Thanks

gonna have to find the cause dude, overfuelling that bad so it stalls out will ruin the engine in quick time.

what's she run like from cold ?? only overfuelling when hot ??? defo overfuelling ( under can cause the same issues- not enough to burn properly so some gets chucked out again )

Really hard too keep it running on tickover, when it's hot it appears to run ok, previous owner of the engine said the cold start valve was dodgey would that cause this??
