Sticking is one posibility. It is also possible that your needle and seat is worn out, or there is crap in there still, or your float is misadjusted...

Does it really starts leaking when you jump, or does it leak all the time?

Here's a little something that might help you:

If a good cleaning doesn't do the trick, I would put a kit in the carbuetor, including a new needle and seat. Most all carb kits come with new needles and seats, and you can usually get one shipped for about $ 15.00.

Also, check your float height. A float that is set too high can cause too much fuel to pour into the bowl and spill out an overflow tube. I believe 22mm (from flange to float) is the proper spec; don't quote me on that. Somebody with a Clymer manual on hand feel free to chime in...

might be 21mm on the float height, don't have time to check!!!!


another thorough cleaning is in order too
