|  Leaky Carb on a gn400x I've got an 1980 Gn400x, its a great bike, but recently the carb has been leaking out of (what I am guessing is) the overflow tube on the bottom of the bowl. I tried cutting off the fuel when i turn the bike off, but to no avail. I also tried cutting off the fuel a bout a min. before i turn the bike off the try and empty the bowl, but that is hit and miss. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Thanks so much in advance, André |

|  It sounds like you have a float that is sticking or a needle that is not seating properly.You must of got some junk in it. Your best bet is to pull off your carbs and clean them.  |
