    Carbs leak when petcock switched to reserve

    On Sunday's ride I was nearly out of gas, so I switched the petcock over to Reserve. Immediately gas began to pour out of one of the float bowls and drip down the right side of the gearbox.

    Why would this happen? The petcock is supposedly less than a year old.

    Thanks.

    Reserve has the petcock pointing to the front (I'm sure you know this but things do happen). It's possible it failed but I'd make sure which way it turned first.
