Well today it appears that i solved one issue only to find i had another.
I have fuel appearing on top of my rear float chamber, i have replaced the hose and clips numerous times, fine when its running with no sign of a leak but as soon as i shut off, after about 5 mins a small amount of fuel starts appearing on top of the float chamber very difficult to see where its coming from but i do not think it is out of the hose.
Any suggestions please.

Out of the overflow pipe maybe?

Out of the overflow, as the fuel starts to heatsoak, and boil

Ok there was no obvious overflow on the rear pot, only the front one, but i found a small hole hidden behind a brass clip that is the likely culprit, not had a chance to open it up yet but guessing it's a float issue.
