Best create a new one before Lep has a go

Started the trike up the other day and had fuel pouring out the overflow.
Assumed it would be a stuck float.
It is a sunny 3DegC, so perfect weather to get outside and take the carb apart. The float was half full of petrol. So it was not a float.
Luckily, I have a couple of spare HIF6s lying around, so swapped one out. (I did mark the donor carb as needing a float).
Tis all working again, but a bit nippy for a ride out

Fitted V&H staggered short shots. I had to cut a bit off the end and fashion up a deflector plate.
