Your needle valve in that float bowl is sticking.

While it's spewing with engine running, rap smartly and repeatedly against the float bowl on the offending carb with a plastic mallet or large screwdriver handle.

This often clears the obstruction at the float needle/seat interface or releases a "stuck" float.

Good Luck! :)

Forgot to mention also running some seafoam in the fuel and installing a new inline fuel filter.

Good Luck! :)

Happily, you do not need to remove the carbs. You can remove the bowl from the bottom of the leaky carb (shut off petcock and drain bowl first) then you can get to the float valve. Remove and clean the little stubby needle and clean the orifice in the jet without removing it using a little carb cleaner. That should stop the leak. Ed

if you have crud in the bowl of one carb it only stands to reason that you will have it or soon have it in the others as well, just do your self a favor and pull the carbs and give them a proper clean also change your filter at the same time or at least clean it if it is the in tank type.

Yes. The inline filter is superior to the petcock filter which is basically just fine screen.

If twin fuel lines are fitted, use two inline filters. All fuel from petcock should pass through an inline filter before entering the carbs.

Good Luck! :)
