The Dark Wob

Right, I undid that nut on that little bit with the hoses on the vottom of the tank. Obvs it started pissing petrol everywhere and my idea was to bung it so I could remove the part. But there's a needle coming from the outlet of the tank into the part so I couldn't bung it.
I re attached it and tightened the nut. Now there's petrol pissing out of that feed pipe continuously.
What the fuck is going on?

Did it look like this?

TBH the float needle should stop the fuel flow anyway even if the tap is stuffed.

Yes, I'm not but it had come off and was sticking out of the tank not the tap.
I've put it back together, what a fiddly bastard. I've kicked it over a dozen times and nothing. The float bowl is full. The battery is nearly flat so I've out it on charge and fucked it off for the day.

Tldr get a little jump starter thing.

It's gone 11am though.

I'm not sure if the bike is 6 or 12v. The battery doesn't say.

Don't think a wee pinch of 12v would do something like that any harm, or are there futuristic electronics on it?

How many screw caps does it have? 3 or 6?

None.

How are you charging it if you don't know the voltage? a 12v charger would fry a 6v battery.
