[yorkie350]

hi guys wot the f... running engine ready to set carbs/ timing etc .Running rich i know that using 400f carbs on 350f so gotta be too much fuel ? running from a small bottle .Tank is off the bike, kick starting bike before fires up fuel drips from exhausts and now i can smell fuel in the oil sump and level has risen too aaaaagh panic stations compression is level cross 4 pots but quite low

Poor compression and fuel in the sump usually indicates a severely worn ring. A leakdown test should tell you for sure.

Cheers mate ime just hoping it aint too crazy after putting so much work into the motor and getting it back in the frame wondered with the compression the same across four pots if i got the timing all wrong with fuel also coming out off exhaust when it dont fire up and ime cranking it over with starter motor or kick start.
