    Tank Venting?

    Where does the gas tank vent excess air?

    My bike has been flooding with fuel, I discovered pressurized fuel launching out of the petcock.

    This shouldn’t happen. Why is it happening?

    I replaced the petcock diaphragm awhile back, is this the culprit? Did I do it wrong?

    There is a vent in the gas cap itself that can get clogged.
    Depending on the cap a soak in something like SimpleGreen and a blast with some compressed air can solve the issue.
