I dont think the bike running rich caused the flooding, i believe its to do with transporting it in the van.

I think something has happened in the float bowl (float stuck or something similar) and i think the bowls brimmed over the top and into my engine.

Its recently had a piston rebuild and is running a higher 2 stroke oil mixture than usual to help the rings bed in. Whether this makes a difference or not im unsure.
