well i've benn fighting these carbs for awhile #2 leaks messed with the float several times could never get it to stop cleaned them out had.still leaks, well today i got a wild hair up my a$$ took the bowl off while it was still on the bike the bowl still had fuel in it i was holding it and pondering my next move when i discovered that it was still leaking. what the hell? put a little more fuel in it and it was the over flow tube it must have a small crack in it. put another bowl on it problem solved so now i'm off for a nice sunday ride around the lake.
