hello all

I have taken the carb off today and started having a look inside the float chamber..i have taken a picture of the jet assembly and

it doesn't look right. .  there is a metal ring around the plastic bit at the bottom, does anyone know if it should be that far down?

anyone have any ideas if this ring meant to be that far down?

thanks

I don't think anybody has said this yet. Seeing as you temporarily fixed the problem by cleaning the carb, do you have a filter fitted and are you running low on fuel in the tank (supposedly where all the sediment is)
