fuel leaking out of carb - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

ive been working on a project of mine for a few months now and got the bike running and everything was good, but about a week ago i started noticing some fuel leaking out of the intake part of one of the carbs.

i checked and made sure that the cylinder is getting spark and honestly im not really sure what else it could be from. anybody have any insight on it?

jets installed right on the carb? i can't think of much but i will ask my dad he is pretty good at this stuff.

What do you mean by intake part? Depending on where the fuel is leaking from you might have a hole in one of your floats and it's not cutting off the fuel.

the inlet, where it connects to the airbox

what kind of bike is it?

its a a 89 kawasaki zx600, i figured it out though. i cleaned out the bowl real well and got some of the gunk out of it and it stopped

Glad to hear, when it's overflowing like that it's always the bowl but it sucks if you have to buy a new float or something.
