Okay. Changed the petcock. Glad I did because the vacuum thing just seemed weird to me. I like it the way my old Honda has it.
Anyway, still did not stop the leak. I'll mess with the carb now to see if I screwed up something.
I have no idea why the pic posted upside down. The file showed it right side up.

I would make sure your not overfilling the tank.. re: level above the ring at the filler neck, forces fuel to the airbox, I leave about a 1/4 " below the tube when filling my tank
I'm always ready for some new knowledge, please tell us the path this "overfilled" gasoline takes from gas tank to airbox.
I think the mayor is a cali granola cruncher.
which means he's got an alternate path to the carb.
but even then, takes vacuum to get gas from the carbon cannister, I think. would hate to see that thing full of gas anyway.

Took the carb off. The spring that connects the needle valve to the floats was at the bottom of the bowl.

That will sure do 'er .... no connection between needle and float.
How did the valve seat and rubber needle tip look?

So far so good. Did not have time to tear it all down. The main jet was clogged with only half visibility. The vacuum slide was super slow , then I cleaned the jet and it was much better.

I did that too. I think the previous owner just bought cheap gas. It's lame because you can get 100% gas here in OK. And, seriously, why would you buy the cheapest stuff when motorcycles get such good gas mileage?

Replaced the float needle and the seat. Put the carb back on. Started up just great. Idled well. Then after a couple minutes, the leak came back.
Makes no sense.
Could it be that the float needs adjusted? Maybe it's not engaging the needle properly? I tested it before I put the bowl back on and it did not leak through when engaged.

Adjusted the float level and it seems to be okay. I just let it idle for about 5 minutes. I'm going to try again when it cools off. It's 103 today in Oklahoma.

Took it for a spin around the block. Started leaking out the air cleaner drain again. Ugh.....
Any ideas? I know this has to be something super tiny. Like millimeter tiny.
What are compatible carbs? haha

Also - I barely have any gas in the tank as I am trying to fix this problem. Like, less than a quart. That shouldn't make a difference, right?
