Default Blaster Carb leak

Got my Blaster out today to ride and enjoy the 4 inches outside. I started it up, as usual hard time idling and staying started. I look at the drain hose from the bell and noticed there was gas pouring out from there. So I let it warm up and took off. Stopped about 5 mins later and nothing was leaking at all. Anybody know whats up?

That was a sign that your float bowl was over filled. Mine does this sometimes. I have concluded that there is more vaccum than nessasary placed on the Carb at idle causing it to drink more fuel.

If it does it no matter what your floats may be getting stuck.

I just put gasket sealer in my other carb and it stopped it. Didnt have a negative effect at all, so, probably try it on this one too. thanks for the compliments on my my ROC.
