Default carb issues

rode the bike to vermont for the day it was running sweet. then it started loading up and smelling like gas. when i got it home the second carb from the left was full of gas and pouring out the overflow tube. any ideas? i tapped on top of the carb took it for a ride and it seemed fine.

Carb cleaning or a rebuild. Sounds like the needle valve was stuck.

clean those... wait for it .......carbs not hard to do and plenty of people with knowledge if you get stuck. I have a lot of experience with it and say to give it a whirl yourself
