Hey guys, first off i want ot thank beester, shawn, admin, and frank for their help with my carb/spark plug probs

The new prob with my bike is that gas just leaks from the carb whenever th engine is not running and i want ot know what i can do about that, i have tightened the screws that connect the float bowl with the carb, and there is a gasket in there!

androu that same thing happend to me but i moved the pb and played with it like pushed it back and forth and it stop!

my friend told me to ride the pb with the gas on off (white switch position like this --> -- and not this |) until the pb stops then ride it on | position and it shouldnt leak
is that true?

your slide may be stuck alowing gas to flow through

The needle is probably sticking, disassemble the carb and clean it again.

You can also try lifting the back of the bike about 3-5 inches from the ground and dropping it. Quite often that dislodges the needle and fixes the issue.

we used to do that all the time when it stuck
