I have a 94 Honda Shadow 1100. I have had it for 3 months now and now when I fill up with gas it wants to leak out from under the tank higher up, can't see where without removing the tank. When some of the gas gets used up on a ride it stops leaking and thoughts????

SOURCE: 2006 Honda Shadow won't start. Gas tank filled. Sat 8 mo. Gas leaked out but not into engine.No sign of external leak. into

1. Drain the gasoline.
2. Remove the carb bowl(s) and turn on the petcock to drain the fuel in the lines.
3. Clean out the carb bowl(s) and replace.
4. Refill with gasoline, add 1 oz of Seafoam fuel system cleaner (I'm not a sponsor, I just haven't found anything better) to each gallon of gas. This will stabilize your fuel as well as do a great job of cleaning out the carb(s).
5. Try to start it.

If it still won't start, begin the standard troubleshooting procedure by first pulling a spark plug and turning it over to ensure gas is getting to the cylinder. If so, replace the plug, hold the plug wire slightly away from the plug and turn it over to ensure a spark jumps between the wire and plug. If so, it starts getting complicated. Buy a manual for the bike if you don't have one and follow the troubleshooting steps there.
