leaking - PocketBikeForum.com

well I got my bike running and so i seemed to have fixed the throttle and carb problem. But now i have yet another problem. when the bike is running everything is fine but when i shut it off and turn of the gas switch the gas seems to be leaking from the carb and keeps coming out of the overflow pipe also. does anybody know why it would be doing this and how to fix it?

Thanks

float bowl is sticking open , when you put it back together did u make sure float bowl needle was installed properly? i used to in the past , if it happened to me , after riding , and bike turned off , lift the rear end of bike and let bounce down on rear tire , if it stops then you have float bowl issues !

ok the leaking has seemed to stop after i have done what you said. now i must have put it back together wrong. i have taken it apart before but it was over a year ago so i dont really remember if i have done it right. would you mind telling me how to put it back together correctly. i think i may have installe the silver washer and needle wrong.

thanks

I discovered my fuel lie was leaking.
or the fuel filter.

I changed my carb also.
