So I've been practicing riding wheelies up and down my drive way and I'm pretty sure that While the front tire is up in the air I'm dumpin fuel out of my carb because I can see the rainbow of an oilbased product in the water on the driveway. Is there any way to stop this? By the way I have a 99 stock 400ex. Thanks.

I wouldn't reroute it or turn it up. Sounds like a good way to flood your carb. The overflow is working so i would leave it. And you are not loosing that much fuel.
