I thought I had this figured out, but I guess not. When I shut the bike off (99 flstf) fuel starts to pour out of the hose coming out of the float bowl. So I take the bowl off, thinking that the float is sticking and it seemed fine, but there was a bit of debris at the bottom so I cleaned it out. Put it back together and everything seemed fine. BTW, sometimes the fuel would come out of the hose while waiting at an intersection with the bike running. So I come home from work and I ran out of fuel early, due to the loss of fuel from the hose, I switch to reserve just about 5 houses down from me. When I shut off the bike, fuel is coming out of the hose.
What is causing this, the dealer said it didnt do it for them when I had it TOWED to them about a month ago. Could switching to the reserve have anything to do with this? The bike only has about 15k miles, so the tank is pretty clean and I have a Rivera inline fuel filter. I am baffled, someone please help.
