    Hello everyone,

    I need a bit of advice/help please.

    My bike, XJ600, has been stood in the garage for over a week. This evening
    when I took it out and started it up I left it ticking over for a few
    minutes, when I noticed a little pool of fuel forming underneath it. I took
    off one of the side panels and noticed that fuel was dripping out of a kinda
    overflow pipe and one of the air filters.

    Does anyone know what the likely problem is and hopefully how I can solve
    it. Thanking you all in advance.

    At least one of your float needle valves are stuck open.

    It is probable that a considerable amount of fuel has leaked into the
    engine oil, so it is important you fix the problem and change oil
    before you start it up again.
