ORIGINAL: tank_900rr

I have a 1993 Honda CBR 900 RR, I was riding the other day and suddenly a heavy cloud of gasoline vapors burning off of the exhaust came up and I thought the bike caught on fire, so I pulled over immediately and got off and got away from it. I then noticed that it was leaking fuel. After I managed to get it home I took the tank and airbox off and cranked it up to see where it leaked. Well, it wasn't leaking cause nothing was broken, it was actually spitting the fuel out of this vent tubeon the carburetor. Here's a couple pics of the vent tube.

Any advice would help. Thanks alot in advance.

Watch how the carbs have the dry fuel spots.

Watch how the 2nd cyl from R to L has fuel, well this is the cyl that's flooding.

I hope this is enough, but if you need video of the event occurring just let me know. Anything would help.

I would be willing to bet, that on a bike over 10 years old, the o-rings and maybe the plastic tubes that feed the carbs gas are either boken, or so hard and brittle, you are not getting gas into the carb, but into and onto the engine.

Replace the carb kits.
