Gas Leak - PocketBikeForum.com

Alright so every time I put gas in my tank, it all leaks out through the little clear gas line that sticks out of the bottom of the bike, any one know what to do?

Your carb is dirty , try taking it off and giving it a good cleaning , in and out !
the needle is sticking open and causing the feul to keep coming out !
it is a common problem . and once you take your bike apart a couple times and under stand it , it will get easier to diagnose.

as a quick fix to have ti stop leaking just tap the bottom because it will break free the needle and the float can come up and close the needle hence stop the leaking but still clean it.

One quick, cheap and dirty way to do it is to pick up the back of your bike so it's about 6 inches off the ground and drop it on the tire (while you're holding the handlebars). You may need to do it a few times but it usually solves the problem temporarily.

What really needs to be done is for you to take out the carb and clean it.
