Hey all,
Last week I replaced my petcock on my 1992 Heritage Softail because even when the petcock was off there would be several drops per minute of gas overflowing from the carb. Once I replaced it the leaking stopped but today when I went to ride the bike I turned the fuel on and started the bike. I went to put my gear on and when I came back the overflow was pouring out gas onto the ground. I then shut off the gas at the petcock and the gas stops overflowing. What can this be and how can I fix it? I tried to run the bike with the petcock off and let the carb empty but when I turned the gas back on it leaks again. Pouring out of the overflow. Thanks in advance for your help.
