I'm returning my 912ul monowheel the flight status after not being flown in several years. The problem I have is that when I turn on the electric fuel pump ,gas runs out of the vent tubes on the carbs. It's never done that before. Obviously I have some stuck needle valves, just seems odd that both carbs are doing the same thing. Anyone have in suggestion on where to start troble shooting this thing.
thanks

Hi EG
I have a BMW R100GS that has two type 64 Bing Carbs. It has happened to me several times after sitting for a long period (even if I run out of fuel before storage), carb snot forms and glues the floats to the bottom position. Be sure to clean the enrichment circuit jets in the float bowl along with the rest of the carb or you will not be able to get the motor running unless you hand choke it of course.
