Carbs pissing gas.. Stuck float??
So out was out for a stunt session, practicing slow stuff, w/my idle turned up. I looked down and gas was just pissing out of what seems to be a vent tube to the left side of the carbs. A guy told me it was a stuck float I know nothing about bike carbs. please help :-

Sounds like it could be a stuck float to me. Take a broom handle (or some other blunt object that won't damage the outside of the float bowls) and tap on each of the two bowls on the left side. Alot of times this will free the sticking float. If this doesn't work, start getting your tools out.
