carb 1 then 2
hey folks, I have a 78 gs750C. Carb one has started to overflow while running then slowly carb 2 starts to over flow. Have taken the carbs off but not yet cleaned them. Could this be the gas tank petcock as well. ThanksTags: None

Usually, when you have a leak like that, it's because you have TWO failures.
1. The petcock is not stopping fuel flow.
2. The floats in the carb are not holding back the fuel.
If only one of those fails, you will never know. It's not until BOTH of them fail that you notice.

With engine running, it is float valves or float height.Komorebi-The light filtering through the trees.
I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion. H.D.T.

What everyone else said so far and -
If debri interferes with the float valve it will never seat and fuel will keep flowing (if it's running).
