Carb flooding
I have a brand new cd 175 here carefully stripped and checked over as it's new old stock...but all fine, if I use choke it flood's,! if I manage to start car without choke and get it warm it run's perfect and tick's over nicely, but if I switch it off and then attempt to start it again it instantly flood's float's are fine and set correctly and needle is down to it's leanest point,and I am running out of idea's of how it can continue to flood,!! any idea's,?

it is flat, with a slightly protruding centre as you look up from underneath,I have re adjusted the float tab and now the engine run's but left on tick over it will cut out after a min, I have ordered a pressure gauge and regulator as I had suspected too high pump pressure so will test that before proceeding. what is the significance of the flat bottomed float chamber Clan,??

Warm start ok?
Hi does it do warm start ok or not? If not it’s the overheat valve thing inside the yellow plastic arm on the outside of the carb. Ive had issues with this! I took it off cleaned it and there’s a bi metallic strip to have a guess at the setting. So far so moderate 🤣
