Need help with carb problem
Well everything has been great up until Saturday night. We were up at Ohiopyle and all of a sudden my over flow starts pouring gas out. I'm not experience with carbs at all. I did my stage 1 which was simple.
Here is my problem as I see it. If I pull the choke open it floods out I think,when closed my bike will run fine but at idle I have a steady stream of gas pouring out. If I twist the throttle the leak goes away but as soon as I stop and sit at a light or what ever it starts pouring out the overflow.
Should I leave it to the proffesionals at the dealership since my bike is under warranty? Also since I did stage 1 &\\; have a Dragtron II AC I installed do you think they will void my warranty in this case?
Thanks for any help or thoughts.

RE: Need help with carb problem
More than likely you have some debris in the needle and seat in the float bowl. The needle shuts off the gas when the float raises up to the full limit....if there is something keeping the needle off the seat the fuel will continue to flow. It just needs a simple cleaning and a filter in the fuel line
