87 1200 carb problem
the filter screen on the petcock is next,took hole carb apart cleaned everything,the carb seemed spotless,put it back on and no fuel,took the fuel line off carb and tank blew through line and it seemed like it was pluged then it was easy to blow through,turned fuel on and no fuel,hooked everything up charged battery ,hit starter button started and went to hit the gas and it bogged down and almost stalled,it would run until i hit the gas and bogged down like it was starving for gas,gas is going to the carb but it doesnt seem like enough,thanks

87 carb
i took the tank off and took petcock out some stuff on that sprayed it clean and blew it dry with compresor,put back together fired up ran good,rode it 4 blocks ran good but carb didnt sound right,got home and on the side of the carb where the throtle hooks up theres a little rod ,pump typ thing with a little rubber boot,theres gas dripping out of that not much doesnt really drip till its sitting at idiol,im sure enough to start a fire if driven a long way,any info on that,good thing running and is ridable but caution comes first,thanks
