| Hi Jerry, I have experienced the same problem as you when I got my CB400. After reading MANY posts on the subject here is my recommendation: The problem could be coming from: a stuck float worn gaskets stuck jets I took apart the carbs and cleaned them up only to find that the fuel would start spilling after a few minutes. I fixed the problem by adding a $2 inline fuel filter!! So my advice is : Before removing the carbs (if not already done :) ) Empty the float bowl by unscrewing the drain screw by the overflow tube Gently tap the bowl to possibly get a stuck jet back into place rescrew the drain screws put the inline fuel filter in place open access to fuel and check for leak The carbs are a little tricky to remove but if the above procedure does not work then you´ll have to do it. In this case be careful not to break the rubber boots. You can use a hairdryer to loosen them or spray some WD40. Best of luck, Vincent |
