While riding my bike last week I started to have problems with the bike stalling out when idling. When I took it home it got worse to the point I was having trouble getting it started. After poking around a while I found a strong smell of gasoline coming from the crankcase. The vacuum petcock seemed to be pretty shot so I figured this may have been causing the mixture. I recently had some work done on the carbs and floats so I'm assuming they're working correctly. Other than changing the oil now and installing the new petcock is there anything else I should be checking? I'm also wonder if this may be an unrelated problem to the bike stalling out at idle. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
