So, I'm supposed to pull the crab and rub it in now??

You're on a roll Curt! Lol

You should see some of mine sometimes at work! With the reprobates I work with, nothing gets missed, ladies included!

crabs and fluid pouring out of the pipe? . . . . . . might want to reconsider who you have been riding with

Pull the crab and drop the fuel bowl check the float valve but I will bet if you pull the float valve seat out your O-ring around the seat is shot and leaking. I would suggest you get a new seat and valve setup reset the float level and clean the carb up good while you have the carb off. MAKE SURE to change your oil and filter and don't run the engine until you do.

You wouldn't happen to have a part number would you? Thanks for all the replies, I was hoping it wasn't major. I'll work on it next weekend. Is it this part or does it come in a set?

If you are contemplating going pumpless in the future, it might be worthwhile to replace the needle and seat with a Grizzly Valve now while you are in there. I picked mine up off of eBay relatively inexpensive.
part # 2C6-14190-30 (edit - this is the Grizzly valve part #)

That's a pic of the right stuff. There is a float needle and seat in a valve assembly, and they are sold as a set normally.

The part number I put in my post was for the Grizzly valve not the standard OEM set-up.

Re:Fuel pouring from exhaust pipes 3 Years, 4 Months ago  
I've been debating the pumpless idea but so far the pump has been serving well so I've kind of back away from it. I'm always scared to do big mods like that. I was freaking out about adding the Baron's BAK and I've had nothing but problems since. I'm sort of thinking that the dealer in my carb is why I'm having issues now. Honestly, the bike was running great up until I had the BAK put on.
