Ok... so im not the super mechanic or anything and i have a problem. Was riding home yesterday when the bike felt like it was out of gas.. the problem was that i had just gotten gas. Once i stopped, i noticed that the bike was running very rough and i had oodles of trouble launching, meaning it would almost stall every time. Once i got into a praking lot to figure out what the heck was wrong i noticed there was a pile of gas under the bike... So i took all the fiarings off, cleaned out as many lines as i could, then put tank back on and fired it up and still had a large leak. The leak is coming from one of the air line filters bleeder hose.... it is the larger air line that runs all aliong the left frame rail to the front. It was a steady constant stream and i have no idea why there is gas in my airlines.... im assuming it will have something to do with fixing the running of the bike.. Any and all help will be appreciated..... Thanks

Is this the line that runs from your airbox?

If not, where does it go?

this an F3? Is itthe hose that connects to a solenoid valve, then a filter, then runs to the front of the bike? If so, that has something to do with the floats I believe. So I would say either you have a stuck float or an internal carb leak.

Yes it is that line. But it isnt the actual line, it is the bleeder that comes offf the bottom of the filter attached to that line. If it is the carb float or some type of internal carb leaking, is this something i will want to do on my own??? I have a good amount of car mechanic expierience, but not a good comfort level with the bike.... PLEASE let me know any thoughts on specific problems or ease of repair..

Thanks
