any time I'm in an offcamber situation or going over whoops or a jump, it dumps fuel out of the hose coming from the lower part of the float. I know the float isn't sticking cause when its on level ground it doesn't dump.

Is this normal?
Is it maybe that the float isn't set right?

Bought it from ESR and been on 2 weeks.

sounds normal to me, dirt bikes do it all the time, and my banshee did it

Yeah, your floats need a slight adjustment. Mine were hanging up and occasionally dumping fuel on level ground. I spent hours trying to adjust it correctly, but was doing it wrong. With the carb upside down and the float bowl removed, the floats should sit perfectly level with the sealing section of the float bowl. There's a little seam that goes across the floats....this will line up almost perfectly with the flat edge of carb where the float boal seals. Once I adjusted my floats to be this way, I never had an issue again.
