Fuel leak on S&S carb
I have a 2006 sportster with a S&S carb, leaking gas from the carb. I took the bowl off and emptied the fuel out of it, and cleaned everything up. However, when i stand the bike up, fuel pours out of the carb still. I have drained all the fuel from the tank, im just unsure of where the rest of the fuel is coming from and when it will stop pouring out so I can at least get it back on the road to a shop or something. Any input or advice is greatly appreciated

Your float is stuck open. That's the little pin that's pushed up by the tab attached to the float.When the bowl fills the float rises pushing that pin up and blocking the flow. Clean that port out and reassemble.
Does the float have any gas in it? Small chance that it has a hole and doesn't float. Check that too. Good Luck...
