Default Deuce leaking gas
Just filled up with gas and started it up guy across the pump points down and I'm spraying gas on the ground infront of rear tire. I shut it off rolled it away from the pump and looked it over no leaks or drips no puddle. started it back up and no leak made it about 50yards spraying fuel again. Continued home about 2 miles last I know was still leaking about 1/2 mile from home. Parked in the garage left idleing side stand down no drips or leaks. Shut it off and started it reved it put side stand up still no leaks. I do sea a breather or overflow tube that is infron of rear tire I assume that was where it was coming from. Could it be just I overfilled it? Its a 2001 fuel injected.

Yep, most likely put too much in. I think we've all done that a time or 2

For future reference only fill it to just under the neck line
