Repositioned gas tank to top of bike and installed new carb. I dont have the air cleaner filter or cover installed, just the black body of the filter housing. Gas is leaking out of choke port into black air filter body. Why is this happening?? Have replaced all carb and air filter seals. Is it simply a matter of not having filter element and filter cover installed. Seems strange that fuel would leak into air filter when bike isnt running. Help!!
Thank you for the replies. Is there anyway to spray cleaner into the db30 carb to clean without removing. I used gasket sealer on the seals, which I probably shouldnt, because I thought leak was coming from seals. It is a non hardening sealer so may come apart easily but would rather try to do on the bike vs removal--again. Can I remove bowl, check float and spray? Sorry for the newbie questions.
Thank you!!! Will take off bowl, check float-probably stuck and spray into jet. Bike is running great, just leaking after shutting down. After turning off fuel valve, the fuel will drain out for awhile until bowl empties then stops. Figured the last thing wrong with it was the carb since it was basically new. You guys are great!!
I don't know a lot about them and a few types are shown.
2.5 DB30 carb | eBay
However, this just says you need a needle & Jet OR the speck of dirt did not flush.

So should I take off the float and inspect the needle? Will a small spec of dirt clog the needle and cause the gas leak. I thought if float was moving up and down it should stop flow??
Questions are good, we all had to learn somehow.
Yes, a speck the size of pepper can keep that valve open.
I would take that carb off and look in the jet, check the needle too.
