Default Gas leak on my honda

today while riding i developed a gas leak. It was comming out both sides of the carb. any ideas what it might be. all the bolts where tight as far as I could tell, but gas was dripping out by the gaskets on both the air intake and engine side. it never did this before, and it would leak even while the engine was running. I had to turn the fuel valves almost off in-order to ride it home without a leak. I went up a steep hill that the engine couldn't really handle and when I let off the throttle to stop the engine died. it started back up and i used it to run the bike up the hill while I ran beside it. engine power seems the same and gear box seems same. didn't notice any problems with them. everything was normal as far as I could tell. just this massive gas leak sprung up.

Your float is probably stuck. For a quick fix tap on the bowl on the bottom of the carb with a screwdriver handle. For a better job take off the bowl and make sure the float valve is free to operate. Make sure you run a filter from the gas tank to the carb as this helps prevent crap getting in there.
