Gas leak after engine shut off.

Howzit fellas....

Just finished rewiring the ridgeback...runs fine during the day and sputtery at night (carb needs tuning)... Anyhow my main concern is a considerable amount of gas leaks out from the bottom of the engine after shutting it off. Im thinking its coming from the fuel overflow line. Now, what would cause this? Any input on why this is happening is greatly appreciated.

Yep, Dawgboy called it. Pull the lower part of the carb and check the float. There is information on this on the S&S website in the tech section.

Make sure to turn the fuel off!
