If the T came with the kit then i'd certainly fit it, the pipe with the
restriction should go to the return pipe to the tank.
It does sound though that the float valve isn't sealing correctly.
Tell Webcon it's flooding and see what they say, maybe somebody forgot
to fit the needle valve or the float.
It is quite easy to remove the top of the carb, it's just the 4 slotted
screws.
Then you can gently lift the float while blowing through the fuel inlet
pipe and make sure it seals.
But if it's a new carb i wouldn't got that far yet unless they suggest it.
You don't want to overtighten the nuts holding the carb down or you
will squash the spacer gasket and distort the flange on the carb.
If they have spring washers under the nuts then just tight enough to
flatten out the spring, otherwise it's a bit tricky to say how much but
if it needs any effort it's probably too tight.

Jim - can't thank you enough for taking the time to look at it. The kit came
with a t bar with a brass restrictor so I actually tried doing exactly what you
suggested this morning. Still flooding though (quite literally!), the carb
chamber was still filling long after the key was out.
i went to bed last night with a "not going to get to stoneleigh dread" so after
lunch I bit the bullet and took the whole thing off and refitted the old one - she
started first time. But I did break the little brass connecting rod that goes from the
auto choke to the butterflies so I had to blank it off. But it runs at least. I'll try
webcon again tomorrow, I think I need adult supervision!
One thing I did notice was that when I removed the new carb - was that the
spacer gasket was soaked with fuel, both above and below. Could this whole
thing have been caused by me not tightening the new carb down tight enough?
Ps sorry about the video, will be better orientated in future (maybe with a
snazzy post modernist soundtrack and moody panning!....)
Thanks again Jim!
