Default gas and wheelies.

i was jsut wondering if when doing a wheelie, and i get pretty strait up and down. acually i stand it up on its back end alot. but is it possible for and gas or oil to come back out the carb and out htrough the air filter? or is that not possible. i jsut notice ever time i stand it up after doing a wheelie there a little puddle of gas on the road.

Yea...Just about every bike/quad I have gone vertical with leaks fuel from the overflow/vent hoses. I have never lost any oil.

All I know is I got a $hit load of oil in my air box, but that could be because when I cleaned it I soaked it in too much oil.
