I have a 78' xs650 special
And it runs more or less really good even though its been sitting for a few years. I went to ride it home was accelerating nicley. Got it up to 60-65 for about 15-20 mins roughly but i had been riding it for at least 30mins non stop. Then it starts to sputter and lose power dramatically. I pull it of on a side road and its just leaking loads of gas out of the carb into the air filter(only the right side carb).
The pet cock was on on. I checked the petcock it works properly. Vaccum lines are looseish but dont fall off. Fuel lines dont leak a drop. And if i take the bike out for a quick 10 min snap it runs great and doesnt leak a drop only if i ride it for a while. So my question really is does this sound like a gasket in the carb or the floats being stuck or what??
