Keeway flash50

[kernow70]

Hi all
I have a Keeway flash 50 two stroke Chinese bike. 2008 58 plate.
When I got it it had been standing around a bit.
I started it and it would slowly chug into life. Finger on button and throttle wide open. It ran ok a bit slow on pick up so I changed the rollers and belt.
It's done 12000km
The problem now it starts but floods instantly and petrol pours out of the back of carb. The bike then dies. I have cleaned the carb several times and jets are clear. Any ideas. Cheers in advance.

float needle would be my first guess

Definitely check the float out. If the float sticks or the needle/seat are in bad shape it will do what you describe. The float is supposed to regulate fuel level in the bowl, so at times when it malfunctions fuel flow never stops and it overflows.
