'82 YZ 250 cylinder problem

[devindevindevin123]

I recently bought a yz250 and I had it running fine. I cleaned the carb and put everything back in. When I kicked the bike it started fine and everything was normal. A few days later I tried starting the bike again and I noticed that everytime I kicked, gas would spray out of the bottom of the cylinder and it wont start.
I think that this is my problem, how do I fix it?

What side of the cylinder? Might be a blown gasket. Try replacing the bottom cylinder gasket and see what you come up with.

Maybe a stuck float?? Try tapping the float bowl with the back of a screwdriver.

Where is the gas coming from??

Did you turn the gas off at the tank when put away??
