    Your carb's float is most likely jammed open. My 125cc Kawi does this, too, and some times it only takes a solid rap with a screwdriver handle to reseat it. It could also be caused from gunk or dirt jamming it, too, which may require you to pull it and clean it. But it is a relatively simple job. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

    Yup, very good advice. If it keeps sticking, you will have to take the carb apart and clean it or find some one who can.
