ZILLAKILLA Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 My overflow hose is leaking when my gas in on. Stops leaking when I turn gas off. I already bought a new petcock assembly because I thought it would fix it. It did stop leaking on the left carb but the right still leaks. New petcock works great but I am tired of it leaking. I don't know if its a float issue or what. Carbs are Mikuni's and they have been rebuilt... Any input will help.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhoksch Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Checking the float height would be a good place to start Sent from my XT901 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1CrazyBastard Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Pull that carb pull the float bowl and check the float height the spec is 21mm here is a pic of where to measure you may also have some dirt in the needle seat or need a new needle valve assembly .

swhitey917 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I agree with the above. Sounds like a float issue causing your problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
