Fuel Leaking Out Of The Overflow

[WyldOne]

Started my bike up for the first time in away and noticed quite a bit of fuel was leaking out of my overflow hose. What could of caused this to happen and how can it be fixed?

stuck needle and seat in the carb, sht in the carb or the float level needs adjusting...
does the fuel come out even when the engine isnt running?
if so get a screw driver and tap the bowl of the carb gently untill it stops coming out.

When I was riding it was pissing out of the overflow and a bit of leaking out of the overflow when it wasn't running.

u need to pull the carb out take the bowl off the bottom of the carb and u will see the float valve give pullt the float up and down a few times to free it up and ur problem will be solved.. tapping it might work but sometimes especially on new bikes they can be pretty seized up.. it takes about 5 min to do..
