Hello at first ……

[Catweazle]

Hello ,
I am Christian from Germany and I am a realy happy owner of an 1937 Scott.

The bike was restored but never driven .

Hope you understand my “perfect” english .

I have or the Scott has one thing that I don´t understand .

When I prepare to start I depress the tickler to float the chamber .
But I can´t foat it so that the petrol escape at the top of the chamber , cause off it drops out of the carburator ,
It looks like it come from the “air screw “
The engine starts easy and run very well .

Does anybody knows something about that ?

Thank you for you help

Best regards
Christian

Mine does the same (they do so), consider the drips as the same as the float from the top

Hi Christian,

When you press down the tickler, petrol will first reach the level of the main jet, and will eventually run out of the small air holes in the lower part of the carburettor body – before it reaches the top of the float bowl. If you continue to press down the tickler (not necessary), petrol will eventually also run out through the small hole(s) in the float bowl lid.

Don’t worry – everything is OK.

Kind regards

Carl
