[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1232959, member: 68872"] Most bikes have several vent / overflow tubes coming off the carburetor and then simply routed down under the frame. One of these would be the float bowl vent and it must be routed so that it does NOT raise up too high. If the vent line is clear and has no up hill sections in it then the float valve sticking open would result in gas leaking out onto the ground. If the gas has to travel higher up the vent hose than it would to get into the caburetor throat then it ends up flowing into the crankcase instead. The float valve needs work for sure, but I suspect that someone has changed the routing of the vent line and that needs to be corrected as well. Rod [/QUOTE]
