from the carb or the overflow??? is ur bike on when this happens?

Posted by: 400exc

it is supposed to do that, it is the overflow, so the carb dont overflow with gas, so it leaks out of that tube out of the bottom of the quad....... and you shouldnt stop it, otherwise it will prob. get flodded

why would that matter its all about how much gas is already in the car / bowl

You are right if it is leaking out of the carb but alot of times it will just be leaking out of the air hose coming out of the top of your tank.

Yea its normal. The gas is comeing out of the over flow. If it didn't you would flood out. I think there are carb that will prevent this but I could be wrong.
I would be more inclined to try to design something that catchs the leaking gas. I haven't really looked to close. I do alot of ground freestyle so I just ignore it.
