Hi,
I have a 2000 VN800B Vulcan Classic. I was getting ready to put the bike away for the winter and we got a couple of nice days here in Chicago. So I wanted to take it for a ride. Well I didn't check the gas and about 2 miles away from my home it died. So I switched to RES and it started right away. So I drove back to a gas station by my house a put some gas in. When I when to start it the engine cranked but it wouldn't fire. Finally when the battery was almost dead I decided to push it home. When I got home i put it on charge. It still wouldn't start and it smelled like it was flooded. I noticed gas was coming out from under the breather and down the side of the bike. Also there was a steady drip from the lower left side about in line with the seat. I fully charged it and got it to fire when I opened the throttle a little when starting. So I rode it around the block acouple of times and brought it in. When I stopped it almost died. I leaned over to see if gas was coming from the breather and leaned the bike to the right and it rev'ed back up. Everytime I leaned it to the left it would almost die. Anyone have any idea's why I would be getting so much gas. We are moving in a few weeks and I need to ride it to the new house before snow falls.
Thanks,
Randy
