    Fuel leaking

    Went to go out today, started bike and noticed fuel pouring ou between 3 & 4 carb.
    Bike is Gs1000g fitted with pods, have had these on for last 10 years and all ok.
    Noticed it was coming from vent tee, so dropped bowl on these two and there was some tiny black specs, cleaned and refitted and all seemed ok.
    Went for ride and after 5 miles whist sitting in traffic noticed fuel was again pouring out, headed back removed bowl from four, fuel looked clear, removed float and needle all looked ok, still to do 3 any ideas as to what might be cause.
    Didn't want to strip carbs yet it is on my list for the coming winter.
    Should say that 1&2 carbs are not leaking.
    Any ideas?

    Pray to the voodoo god for no more spewage. If that doesn't work try fixing the carbs right (needles are leaking). Check for crud in the tank getting though and fouling the needles too.

      sounds to me like the winter carb strip down has come early!

      Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!
