bring your float down some, sound like your fuel level is higher than your if you got a manual it shows you how to adjust it and tells you where it should be, rip yours out somtime and measure it, it pretty easy to do, i think you need a set of dial calipers, don't remember for sure

They all leak when you wheelie. its no big deal, and its not really enough that you will notice a difference in miles. if you want to ride longer buy an IMS 4.5 gal tank!! lol

Seems like a simple solution to me. If you want better milage, keep all four wheels on the ground.:rolleyes:
