I was about to go for a quick cruise when I noticed that my idle was horrible. I looked into the carb and I saw that the top right barrel was leaking fuel. It wasnt just drops, it was a steady stream, whats wrong?

Alex sounds like your due for a carb. overhaul....Possibly the float stuck or some junk in the needle and seat. Should be able to pick up a soft kit (rebuild kit) for it at the local parts house. If your not comfortable doing it yourself maybe you can get a buddy to assist you......Good Luck

Alright Ill have to go over the secondary barrels now. Previously I had a primary barrel clogged up and I took of the front fuel bowl only to find the inside of it ROTTED out. I scraped all the metal flakes out and cleaned it real good but didnt have time to go over the secondaries. Guess I have to now lol.
