I ran it just enough this a.m. to warm it up and verify that the float was unstuck then did the oil/filter. Sure enough, thin and stunk like gas (actually measured the used oil and probably had about 1/2 pint of gas in it). I guess my crankcase has been flushed. Drained some more gas at the petcock and topped it off, so I should have a fairly "normal" seafoam/gas mix now.

George-as of tonight the fuel problem seems fixed. A can of SeaFoam in the tank and repeated draining of suspected bowl + some tapping and I think we're OK. I'll run the rest of the tank through tomorrow before my trip on Wed. Is one can (pint) to a tank too much? It's about double what the can says. THANKS!

Thanks George...I've dumped some SeaFoam into the tank, I'm assuming that the drains are the hex cap screws w/ the ports next to them. I suppose if I measure the gas as I drain the carbs, the one with the most gas in it is the bad boy. Thanks again.

I just tapped on the carbs and started it up and still have fuel coming out of the vent tube. ALSO noticed gas dripping from left muffler; consistant with float problem? Thanks.

I just started my bike ('01 RSV) and gas started running all over the floor. I pulled the lower cowls off and it's coming from the tube (vent?) that ends at the top of the cowl. There's one on each side (the right one is spewing). It looks like these tubes come from a plate between the front carbs. I've only had the RSV a month, so I haven't ever torn into it yet; just trying to get a clue before I pull the tank/seat etc. Stuck float? Thanks!
