Last time i went riding, the bike ran gr8, just broke in the motor...But when i got home, i forgot to turn off the gas. In a 1 day time period, the bike leaked about 2 cups of gas. Is this normal? O! My stock tank vent is pluged, i have a vent coming off of the gas cap, i run 120 octane, so i vented it more...I asked a few people, they said clean the carb, i ripped it apart, cleaned it, nothin! Help me out...

 

mine leaks fuel to and I havn;t been able to figure it out.

hopefully someon will see this and help us both.

 

Sounds like it's the gate and seat in the bottom of the carb.Either replace it or turn the gas off everytime you stop the bike for a while.

 

Turn the valve off after riding and during transport, it is gravity fed and will fill the bowl but it shouldnt leak. check the fuel lines under the gas tank to the petcock valve and carb, thats where I've had problems leaking.

 

Just curious, just what kind of engine takes this kind of fuel?

 

Check to see if your floats on the carb are sticking, if not empty out the overflow and see if that helps.

 

My scrambler had this problem, i replaced the needle valve and seat in the carb and havn't had the problem since. when i replaced it, i compared the old needle to the new one and there was an obvious difference, the point was squashed in a little.

yeap this is whats up....mine leaked gas everytime it was off to the point where id have to shut off the line everytime i wasnt riding. i replaced the needle and seat and everything was okay. .. so look into this.

 

don't forget to not overfill the gas tank,as any reservoir on it it will
spit out the too much real soon,just doesn't full fill the gas ok and it should be ok,maybe your overfill gas vent is cut or need replacing.

 

It is leaking out of the vent line coming out of the carb bowl...
