Title: HELP!!! Fuel everywhere
Post by: CasiUSA on November 20, 2003, 06:05:10 AM
SO my parents woke me up around 6:30 this morning telling me it reeks of gas in the garage and there's a wet spot under the bike. I don't have to be at work for another 2 hours, so I go to investigate. The airbos breather hose is leaking gas. I take everything apart and the airbox out. Carbs? Spewing out more gas. I undo the carbs. I turn them over and about a shotglass worth of gas comes out the sliders. Can anyone suggest what may be causing this problem? I am confused, and I have no idea why that much fuel would be overflowing in the carbs. Thanks. :x

Floats are probably stuck.  Clean your carbs.  I had the same problem.  

Good luck!
