My 2005 carburated sporty is leaking gas from the hose on the bottom of carb is my float stuck

you probably let your bike sit for a while and your float is stuck in the carburetor,so try tapping lightly on the carburetor bowl at the bottom to see if it stops flowing .anyway it goes you probably looking at taking carburetor off and cleaning it out

Might be fuel leaking from overflow. Perhaps the float valve is stuck or damaged, allowing the float bowl to overfill. Slight chance tapping on side of carb may seat the valve. If not, it will probably have to either be set, or replaced. Could possibly have some "gunk" stuck in the valve seat from the cleaning. It only takes a tiny speck of debris to hold the valve open, causing flooding. Another possible cause is that during the cleaning, the tab that adjusts the level of the float valve got bumped, changing the level.

Sounds to me like your float valve is obstructed by some debris. This is causing it to stay open and leak fuel. Better it leaks to your vent hose than it leaks in your engine and contaminates your oil.

You need a proper carb cleaning. Not some run in the gas tank sh*t. If the tank wasn't full when parked, chances are there is rust in the fuel system to get this out you need to disassemble the carburetor and thoroughly clean it.

Try not to ride the bike til you do this. It's a fire hazard.

Sounds like the carb overflow hose. It it's leaking gas the float in the carburator is stuck and letting too much gas into the float bowl, causing the excess gas to drain from this hose. You will have to remove the carb and set the float to the proper level.

Floats are staying open in float bowl in bottom of carb.Try tapping float bowl with screw driver handle as to unstick floats.this will somtimes work if there not stuck real bad.If it still overflows you need to remove and clean carburator.Good luck....Brian

hi,sounds like the float in the carb is stuck in the fully open position,you will have to take the carb out,take the bowl off the bottom of the carb and inspect the float needle assembly,the little clip that holds the float to the needle valve may have come off,allowing fuel to run unchecked into the carb and ultimately out through the overflow..hope this helps..cheers

It is a vent / overflow hose. It drains to the atmosphere / street. If gas is coming out and isn't stopping then a float is stuck.

Turn off the gas and drain the offending carb(s). Next, turn the gas back on and sharply tap the float bowl with the plastic handle of a screwdriver as the fuel bowl refills. The goal here is to vibrate the float to free it up. If doing this process a couple of times does not free the float I would remove the carb(s) and look for any misalignment of float pin, needle or adjusting tang.

Now re-clean with a spray carb cleaner. Clean the air filter then re-mount carb(s). Next, Remove the water trap bowl at the bottom of the petcock, (gas valve). Dump it, clean it and re-mount it, ( not all bikes have a trap bowl ). INSTALL AN IN-LINE FUEL FILTER..

I had this same problem on my DRZ-110.
I took apart the carburator to clean everything out, but when i re-assembled it it started to leak gas out of the drain hose. Then i found out that the problem was that one of my gaskets were torn and were letting air in the drain which prevents it from being a vacuum, therefore causing gas to leak out.
I would first check the float & make sure it isnt stuck, then i would check all of the gaskets and make sure they arent torn, & replace the ones that are, even if theyre slightly damaged they can still let in air.
Your carb has to be 100% sealed & vacuumed to prevent any leaks & for it to work fine, so get those gaskets checked out

Sounds like a stuck float. try gently tapping on side of carb near bottom where float assembly is located to see if it frees up if it doesn't you will need to remove and clean your carb and check your float adj.
