Gas Leak Help
Hi guys,
I came to start up my bike yesterday after a couple weeks of not riding and when I turned it on, it had some trouble starting at first and then started revving normally. However, i look down and it starts spewing gas (the attached picture shows where it's coming from), and then the idle slowly dies. I am not sure what to do with this little spout, and I am not sure if there was originally something attached to it. The spout is on the back of the engine facing the read of the bike. What should I do? Thanks for your help.

if you had any sediments in the gas as well, that could have gummed up the needle valve (what the float operates to stop fuel flow), check that. once you pull the carbs, take some pics of the bowls, if they have a lot of discoloration, you've been having issues with the fuel that's been in your bike. with all the ethanol nowadays, it doesn't take much to make these bikes run like sh*t. and if you have any vacuum hoses not connected, the bike will not run right.
maybe grab another fuel filter while you're at it. couldn't hurt anything
