i had the drain plug all the way off the bike - so the float being stuck open will let gas come from the tank? i do know the carbs need done the bike sat about 5 years in a shed. i guess i need to read some more on the way the carbs work i dont see if you need a vacum to draw the fuel out when its running why it will leak when it is not since none came out of petcock when i took off lines - and out side of carbs are dry. so i guess back to more reading and get the carbs done. -----------would the float level change do to sitting all that time? boy so many ???? thanks for the info - hopefully one day it will all click!!
