    Ok - some advice if I may

    Ive got a 03 Fatboy carbie version .

    Fuel is leaking from the air cleaner when the bike is parked and dripping all over the floor of the garage  .

    its odd as its never done this before .

    my thoughts are

    - its related to the float or needle not shutting off correctly

    - Ive shut the fuel tap to the off position (fuel still leaks outta the carbie into the air cleaner and down the frame and onto the floor)

    whats got me most stumped is the fact that the leak is occcuring with the fuel tap in the off position

    My thought was is if the  tap was turned off then the fuel remaining in the carbie would leak out as the fuel taps in the off position

    So how do i stop fuel leaking from the carburetor  and why does it do it (like am i on the right track here with my diagnosis)

    regards

     

     

     

    Any advice woudl be most appreciatted
