my buddies just had the same problem... I had to pull the plug out and kick it over to get the raw fuel out of the cyl.

I'd pull the carb apart and make sure everything is spotless...

Yea, that worked for me. When I took my carb apart I took the float off and found out that the little pin that slides up and down had sand on it. Blew it all off and my carb stopped the leaking gas.

What kind of gas are you running? If your running good ol pump gas your carb will need cleaned a ton. I try run U-94 Sunoco in a similar setup but even it has so much attitives eventually it will act up. The last time I cleaned my stock carb I dropped the float and never found it FYI it costs 18.00 to replace so dismantel with caution.. Good Luck!!

Try this turn the fuel off disconect the fuel line at the carb drain the fuel bowl . then spray WD40 in the inlet to the carb . That will clean and lube the neddle seat in your carb. I do it as maintanence on the dirt bikes, 4 wheelers,and the JR Dragster. DO NOT mess with the float.Also change the oil
