    If 3 AND 4 have fuel, then youve got a plugged cicuit in the 3 carb and/or plugged jets in it.
    The bowl was full on cyc 1. 3 and 4 seem to be fine

      Then it would seem you have a plugged up carb...

        And that it was. Thanks to Steve's carb 101 I took the carb completely apart.. A squirt of carb cleaner n compressed air... Good as new. Thanks for the help.

          NOW...get a can of Berrymans B12 Chentool..half a can to a full tank and run it for about 10 miles before you put her up for the night. The B12 will be in the carbs and soak the jets nice and clean.


          Running it thru the carbs with the engine running will further clean and flush the passages. Add the second half of the can to the next full tank.

            I also assume you drained the gassy oil BEFORE running it???

              How did a plugged up carb cause your engine to fill with gasoline? You have not solved your original problem. Even if a petcock is left on prime, the engine should not fill with gasoline. There is still something wrong with your carburetors and when you forget to turn the petcock off again your engine will fill with gasoline again.

                  of course I changed the oil. As for the "forget to leave the petcock on" won't happen again. I got a new routine when shutting off the bike. Yeah, I might still have a problem somewhere in the carbs... but I'll save that tear down for winter time. Time to ride the living $%#@ out of this thing! thanks for the help and advise
