Leak'n A Little Gas

[cj-in-kc]

04 Chopper (117), leaks a little gas out of the overflow hose off of the carb, after I run it for a while. It seems to only leak when I pull it in my garage. It doesn't seem to leak when i park it at work. Is this anything to worry about? Think I could fix it by simply turning off the pet cock when i park it?

Yeah I get that from Mexican food!
Sounds like your float needs adjusting.:2thumbs:

Agree with BBC. Sounds like the float is too high or it is sticking and not seating.

Should always turn off fuel if going to sit for awhile, esq. in garage:2thumbs:

Leave bike at work, problem fixed. Check float in bowl or smoke a bowl.
