View Full Version : Leaking gas when wheelie?



04-24-2002, 03:54 PM
just got a 96 300 ex. When I wheelie, and not very high, it leaks gas. It starts to do this before the balance point. Any suggestions? I tried to relocate the tube and that helped but not good enough. thanks.

Mines done it forever , it never really bothered me other than the smell.

Just the float bowl filling up and going out the spill tube..nothing to worry about. Doubt you can fix it, you could pinch it off when you are going to do that kind of stuff..but I don't think I would.

I tried plugging it up but when i did it would always stall in a wheelie so i just gave up trying.

Its just the over flow.The float bowl just over fills and comes out the overflow tube.Nothing to worry about.Mine has always done it.Don't stop the overflow or the float bowl will overflow and the gas can not exit and it will stall out like you said.
