Had a few issues with my bike recently. Firstly it randomly started pouring fuel out of the airbox when waiting at a traffic light. Bought new float needles and replaced them and it was better then randomly started dripping while parked outside the office at work so redid the fuel tap and that issue seems to be sorted now.

Now though it'll idle high randomly, sucking air somewhere? The boots that go over the carb don't seem to want to sit deep enough on to the carb mouth anymore so I am assuming it could be there? Hoping the boots are a separate replaceable item. Am I on the right path? Bike runs and pulls fine when not at idle..
