Gas pours out vent when I wheelie

[mc1984]

I have a 93 300ex. When I ride a wheelie and have the front end way up, gas pours out my vent tube down on the swingarm. I am assuming this is the vent tube for the carb. I dont think there is anything wrong it is just at such an angle that the fuel is running out. I was wondering, has anyone found a way to prevent this? If so what could I do? I saw somw sort of vent it Chapparal that looks like it still allows it to vent but with out fuel loss. Anybody tried it??? Thanks in advance for your help, I appreciate it!!!

its casue the float in your bowl stays open..

its not the gas tanks vent, its hte carbs vent...

when your at such a angle gas just dumps into the carb, sure you could plug the hole, or re-route the dump lines so it dosne't dump gas out, but the gas has to go somewhere, and in your engine is the only place..

however i'd rather dump gas then kill my motor by flooding it...
