#411045 Cprows (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 135 Gas Leaking from somewhere..HELP 9 Months, 1 Week ago   After my rides lately i've been getting gas overflowing from somewhere around my carbs? I think. I go on the ride, come back. Turn off the bike, grab something to eat, go to turn it back on and when I press the starter it struggles..then gas comes overflowing from somewhere around my carbs, I try again and it starts up but it's followed with a puff of black smoke from my pipes. I was told it may have to do with my carbs just being dirty or it's a sign that I need to replace a few parts on my carbs. Not real sure.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #411048 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!

In the mean time shut the petcock off a and run the bike a few minutes before you turn it off and that will help. The gas boils from the heat in the carb and pukes when it is really hot.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #411049 Deedot (User) Pain is weakness leaving the body. Senior Boarder Posts: 390 Re:Gas Leaking from somewhere..HELP 9 Months, 1 Week ago   I had something kind of similar (but WAY worse) happen recently. Stuck float in the carb. Took it apart, cleaned it up and put it back together and it's again running like a top. Here's a link to a video of what mine was doing.

ScottW has a solution for it and it worked for me, may want to give it a shot....

If their not perfect gas will get by and leak out. If I'm wrong I'll eat the bugs that I kill with my face.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #411730 Jona (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4016 Re:Gas Leaking from somewhere..HELP 9 Months, 1 Week ago   Lucky1 wrote: The only thing that stops the gas from comming out of the carb when it's not running is the needle valve and seat.
