Hi I have just obtained a xs250 yamaha. I turn the fuel tap on to reserve (low on fuel) no problem. Start the engine no problem then the right hand cylinder floods. Also engine ratterly. Any thoughts. have checked the float chamber and all seems to be ok.

Might need some new float needles. Maybe they are not sealing.
