The bike started fine the other day, I took the tank off to repaint it, took the petcock off cleaned the rust out of the bowl in the petcock sealed it back up and everything, reconnected the fuel lines. And when I put it back together gas just kept pouring out of the vent line in the carbs. Took the plugs out and they were fouled, let them dry out and had another go. It makes the noise like its going to roll over, but nothing.


Any ideas?

Sounds like your floats are stuck (flooding the carbs/engine).  You can try lightly tapping on the sides of the bowls to loosen the floats or do it the right way by taking them apart and cleaning them.

Check your oil to make sure that gasoline hasn't made its way down past the pistons rings into the crankcase.  Smell the dipstick to confirm.

I had an issue with a carb that would never stop leaking. turned out to be a crack in the overflow tube. a little solder fixed that. the crack was real hard to see...

I'd be guessing the stuck floats though. try tapping od the side of the carbs firmly to see if they'll knock loose. never hurts to try the simple things first!

Well, I think the float was just stuck. We finally got it started any everything, ran it. But one of my cynlinders are misfiring bad. What are some of the major causes to look for in fouled plugs?


Thanks dudes,
