but wouldn't the float be stuck to cause fuel to run all over the place onto the ground?

Thanks for the responses. anyone have a diagram of what parts to remove on the bike to get to the carburetor? any tricks? i have always just pulled the carbs off of my motorcross bikes, shot some compressed air, or even an aerosol lubricant (wd-40, crc...) into the orifices, put back together, and rock on.
I did call the dealer and he said the float was hung open in the carb, and to clean with brakleen, not carb cleaner as he stated the carb cleaner will expand all the rubber pieces of the carb, but brakleen will not. any thoughts? I could just pull the carb and soke in sea foam probably.
as far as ethanol goes, it has been problematic in everything i run and in a car your gas mileage drops big time with it. WHAT ABOUT USING THE # 72 JET SIZE THAT IS OFFERRED AS AN UPGRADE? SHOULD I DO THAT? THANSK A LOT.

I HAVE ONE I INHERITED. I LIKE IT BUT I KNOW YOU GUYS WILL SAY IT IS CHEAP. QUESTION, I LET IS SIT FOR A COUPLE WEEKS, AND IT STARTED THEN CUT OUT MINUTES LATER. I ADDED FUEL AS IT WAS LOW AND NOW THE FUEL JUST RUNS OUT UNDER THE BIKE FROM THE CARBURETOR, PRESUMABLY. I AM ASSUMING THE FLOAT IS STUCK OPEN, PERHAPS FROM IT RUNNING LOW ON FUEL (NOT OUT OF FUEL, BUT IT WAS LOW).
DO I DO SOMETHING ELSE, OR SIMPLY PULL THE FLOAT BOWL AND CLEAN IT? IS THIS AN ETHANOL FUEL PROBLEM OR WHAT? IT IS ODD. LASTLY, WHILE I AM IN THE CARB, DO YOU SEE ANY BENEFIT FROM UPGRADING TO THE LARGER #72 JET? THANKS SO MUCH. RONNY
