I have a 1995 Vulcan 1500 A. I noticed that when I open the gas valve and start the engine, gas leaks (shoots!) out of the overflow ports on the left side carp. I figured since I just started it up for spring that a hunk of dirt might have stuck the fuel float valve and causing the float chamber to overflow.
I tried tapping the float chamber to see if it would free it, but nothing. I put in some carb cleaner and let it sit for a week, still nothing.
Any great ideas. Is it the float valve or something else? Is there a trick to free it or am I stuck pulling the carb, seperating them and cleaning the float bowl and valve.
Thanks,
Greg

 

Not good I would rebuild, don't need a fire at 70 MPH.
