Sitting on the bike, the petcock is on the left side under the gas tank. There should be two hoses coming off of it. Pull the lines off the petcock, put a rag underneath it and see if it leaks any gas out overnight. Make sure it is not on PRI, or prime.If it leaks, you will need a rebuild kit or a new petcock, or you may be able to take it apart and clean it. It may have dirt/rust in it.
