[QUOTE="ccm, post: 356812, member: 13447"] I remember reading your other post. I'd say it is a carb float issue. It is sticking and the pressure from your pressure tank is forcing the fuel out until the pressure is lost. The float needs to be readjusted ( also a good time to clean the carb since your going to have to take it off to do this ) in most carbs there is a little metal tab that can be bent up or down to adjust where the float sits. It would also be a good idea to open the cap to relieve the pressure on the tank when the motor is going to be up. Carry a fire extinguisher up front, you don't want to have a fire and have no way to put it out. [/QUOTE]
