Morning, I own a little used 2016 Keeyway RY6 50cc scooter, which has developed a float valve issue in the carb with subsequent flooding and leakage.   Seeking a competent local and mobile mechanic to fix the little lady.
Thanks in advance.

suggest
turn the fuel off
run the bike/carb dry
  turn the fuel on again and run the bike ,this may clear it

if not

if there is a drain on the float bowle
remove the drain screw
blow 10 psi comp air through the fuel inlet feed to carb this should clear it.

if not then the needle needs to come out and be cleaned & polished with a bit of solvol auto sol , also who ever strips it make sure they set the float hight correctly with a balance tube otherwise it will under fuel or over fuel .
