I've been chasing a flooding, stumbling, non running issue since I purchased this bike. Its an '07 Boulevard S40 with 1600 miles on it. I was told the carb needed to be rebuilt. Taking it apart, I found the main jet slightly gummed up, and the pilot jet clogged.
After putting everything back together, it didn't seem to help, and I posted this:

I put carb cleaner into the fuel line and held the float up thinking the needle valve maybe was leaking. Nothing came out until lowering the floats enough that valve lowered. I put the floats in a bowl of warm water looking for bubbles thinking maybe I had a bad float, but they seam ok.
Some suggested previously that the petcock could be an issue. I've tried removing the vacuum line last time and there wasn't any fuel in it. Also, I removed it from the carb itself and capped the line/carb inlet. Running it on PRI the bike still acted the same.
I found the air cleaner box full of fuel/oil today when I went to install the freshly cleaned carb. I pulled the little plug/cap at the bottom of the box and let it all drain out.
Long story short, after putting everything back together today, the bike fired right up, and ran great for about a 1/4 mile. Then it shut off and wouldn't restart. The long black drain tube that runs to the bottom of the bike, about 4 inches off the ground was full of oily fuel. I haven't pulled the air filter box apart yet but Im sure its full again, as its acting just like it did before.
Anyone have any ideas before I decide to just burn this darn thing!
