Is it normal to have a little gas come out of the carb overflow hose????? I put a small collection tube on the end of the hose and went for a two hour ride......when I got home it had beer cap full of gas in it ..Do you think the float needs adjusting???

 

Might be worth a look. I've never heard of a catch can for that tube, so maybe it's normal? Who knows?

My '91 CA overflow tube goes to the VOVS, which opens by engine vacuum and allows the overflow tube to vent. It's also curved to an upward position, not down. I assume only a wee bit spills out or it would block with fluid. I do know if you block it that the idle is affected. A catch can might not be a good idea if the tube end gets submerged.

Never even worried about checking it. I just ride it.
