Hi Guys - here is a video I just shot of the leakage. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYtyBrQT3do]YouTube - ‪Untitled‬‏[/ame] I put half a can of Seafoam into the tank and I probably have half a tank of gas left too. I am going to let it sit and see if anything frees up. Like I said, I am not mechanically inclined so exactly where would I smack it with the screwdriver? Where are the floats located? Thanks! I really appreciate all of the help!

Thanks everyone for the great responses. I filled the tank with recommended amount of Stabil, turned the tank off and ran the lines dry before I put it into storage. And I guess "Gas Shooting Out Of The Carbs" is much better described as gas running out the bottom of the bike. A stuck float really sounds like the proper diagnosis to me. The bike runs even though the gas is leaking out of it. Will adding Seafoam to the gas and letting run free it up on it's own or do I need to free the float manually?

Hi Everyone - This is my first time here and I am from Woodbury, MN. Some guys on the Venture Rider's Facebook page told me there are some brilliant people here. Has anyone else had problems with their Royal Star shooting gas out of the carbs when it comes out of winter storage? I bought my 2006 RSTD brand new in 2008 and this has happened to me 2 times in 3 years! Last time it cost me $500 to have the carbs cleaned out. I followed the storage-prep instructions to a T. Very frustrating. What do I need to do to get it road-ready again. I'm not mechanically inclined and I am very disturbed at the thought of having to spend $500 for the 2nd time in 3 years to solve the problem. Thanks! Mike
