I thought that was the purpose for it. Or has it been bypassed, like so many do ? Agree that the needle/seat is leaking, and needs repair

Check the vac line is it dry? check your oil level, gas can flow into the intake then down into the crankcase.

over the weekend we worked on the bike a bit. we looked at the carb and changed the float position. also it did not look like the needle was stuck. we put back the vacuum line which had been bypassed. there seems to be no leak as such right away. However the bike will stall after a couple of minutes of riding.

also i will be ordering a new air filter and a new petcock.

any other suggestions?
