300ex pouring out gas?

[Tyler01]

I haven't rode my 300ex in about 2/3 weeks and today i pulled it out and i noticed something. Every time i turned my gas on it was just flowing out the over flow valve { I think thats whats it's called }. It runs fine and every thing so i know its not the jet's or anything but could it be my float hung up or something.I would like to have a second opinion thanks.

yup... stuck float, check the needle and seet....I had grit in mine once.

alright thanks

Tapping on the side of the bowl will sometimes free the float. But, it's probably only a temporary fix. Everything should be cleaned to prevent it from happening again.

there is a screw on the carb by the yellow choke handle. this lets gas through if open (left) this is a way if you have any water in it to get that out. i believe thats what its made for. anyway try turning that to the righ (closed)
