    '85 GS850G spewing fluids after winter

    Hi I had my bike stored correctly over the winter in my garage, however, I left the petcock in prime mode....dont ask me why, but for whatever reason it was left like that for several months. When I went to start it, it ran for a min then fluids started spewing out of every which way they possibly could. I ve had some people speculate it could be the carb that needs cleaning, possible the float bowls need a good cleaning. But i wanted to see if anyone else has had similar problems???? Make me nervous...

    Well, the gas that was in tank, dribbled down to crankcase oil. Time to drain this oil, change filter-maybe rinse and repeat.
