The carburettor float that failed is an old one, I bought the carb. (new) approx. 18 years ago. I can see no sign of damage to the float, and the fuel that is in the float shows no sign of coming out.
I am curious that it failed so quickly - it is the first time I have ever had a float leak, it has been working fine while I have been getting the bike ready for the road.
I have replaced it with an equally old float from a 'spare' carburettor and all is well.
Just a strange event that having ridden the bike to the bike shop, then passed its inspection, I had to go home on the bus to get my trailer to bring the bike home :hammer:
