When I started the engine, more dripping, but not always/all the time. Can't see where it is coming from but the lower end of the bike is drenched with gas.
What is going on?
The 97 Savage was sitting with drained carbs for about 6 weeks indoors. Otherwise never any problem.
First guess. It's been sitting with drained carbs and your float is stuck down. The engine is on and the vacuum is on and the gas is on.
Turn it to PRI with the engine off and see if gas comes out again. If it does, then tap on the carb bowl with a plastic screw driver handle and see if that loosens it up...it will stop if it does.
If not then drop the bowl off and check for dirt (after turning it back to ON)
