cl360 carbs pissing gas

[johnny gaijin]

so i'm not sure how this started happening but i filled up at the gas station and noticed a big puddle of gas under my bike.

looking at it gas is steadily pissing out of both my overflow tubes when the gas is on regardless if the bike is running or not. i ran it with the gas off till it died and bounced around on it thinking the floats were stuck or something but to no avail.

i've rebuilt these carbs and cleaned them several times, recently even so i don't understand why this is happening.

i'd rather not pull the carbs again, anything i can do or am i stuck ripping them off and cleaning them out?

Did you try just tapping on the bowls? Maybe a float just got hung up. Sometimes that works.

Are you running a fuel filter?

Drain the carb bowls and see if there's gunk in there. If it's all clean, you might have a stuck float (on the gasket) or a sunk float (if they're brass)

and when you do pull em off (not much of a choice) look for cracks in the overflow tubes. i had mine off a dozen times before some one mentioned this to me and sure as shit.they are very hard to notice hairline mother fackers, my float needles were stuck and cracked tubes. lots of cleaning and soldering!
