gas

[djvmax07]

Have gas coimg out of the long hose on the airbox. took the airbox off and found back left carb is poring gas out. From what I have read sounds like a stuck float I have tap the carb drained the bowls gas is clean. drain some gas out of the tank and nothing floating in it. Whats the best way to fix this ? Do I need to carbs off bike ? Will seafoam do any good ?

thanks

After you tapped on it, is gas still coming out? Seafoam might help, although I always liked BG-44 as a carb cleaner thru the gas....it seems to do better, although it is more expensive.

And yes, I would say that its a float as well.

If after running a couple of tanks of gas (with the cleaner in it) you might need to take the carbs off and clean out the needle and seat, ALTHOUGH.....give the cleaner a couple of tanks to do its job.

If you have taken them off before then "yes". If tapping did not work then seafoam is probably not going to.
I wouldn't keep running seafoam to fix it with a gas leak.

And you might as well set the float levels while your there.
