I think I have that same problem. Whenever I ride a wheelie water is splattered all over my gas tank and seat but I'm positive it's not gas b/c it doesn't smell like anything.

If your vent hose is under the water in your stem it WILL cause problems. I've had that happen and spent 2 hours trying to figure out why my quad wouldn't run before a XC race. At the last minute we found the stem to be full of Frozen water (winter race) and that caused the quad to not run.

Learn from our mistakes people...:o

Pull your tank vent hose out of your steering stem and route it someplace else. Problem solved...
