when u get it running it just starts pissing gas out the bottom of the carbs. both carbs were doing it and when u try to start it again it wont start unless u pull the plugs and poor gas in. are the seals gone in the carbs or what.

Is it coming from the seam where the fuel bowl meets the main carb body? If so, just get some new gaskets.

no its not comin from where the fuel bowl meets the body. it comes from little vavle at the bottom of the carb.

vandeursen,
It sounds like the needle/ seats are not sealing off and flooding out the carb.

Hard to tell from your description, but if fuel is leaking out the bottom of the carb, the little fitting and fuel line that runs from the bottom of the fuel bowl to the inlet of the carb might be damaged or cracked. That is the "Power Jet" external circuit.

If this isn't it, can you post a pic?

I hope this helps!
