Woke up Sunday morning to a heavier than normal gas smell in the garage and a nice new puddle of gas under the bike. Figured it was leaking out of the float bowl vent because the bike was leaning more than normal on the kickstand. No biggie, just prop the bike up the right way.
Get on to go for a ride and clean it off, and it wouldn't even spin, pop the clutch and leave a 10' skid... Finally get some movement only to see a nice trail of liquid. Wow, thats from me!
Pedal it back to the garage and watch as gas is pouring out of the exhaust.
So the carb's float hasn't been shutting off and it filled the cylinder with gas and now it filled the exhaust tube too!
Quick adjustment, clean and it's all back to normal.
Fun little adventure.
