so when I bought my 81 xs400 special a month ago it ran perfect, started on the first kick. The other day i was riding around the neighborhood and it started to bog a little bit when i pulled the throttle. it kept doing this until it eventually died in my yard and wouldn't start. Next time i tried to start it i turned the petcock on and fuel started pouring out from somewhere, it looked like the airbox on the left carb, still wouldn't start. I pulled the carbs off and cleaned them with carb cleaner and then changed the oil and spark plugs and the bike started fine, first kick and firing on both cylinders, but it still puors out fuel when i turn the petcock on! it's my first bike and i'm getting pretty frustrated, any advice? do i need a new float?
