well thats what the over flow is for. but as i mentioned, if the over flow was blocked then it would have no where else to go so would probably end up going in to the engine.

Sweet bike. I have heard horror stories about that. It is possible to load up fuel to the bottom of the crank and then when trying to start it, it can tear stuff up. This is rare though. There can be too much fuel and when it gets moved to the top of the piston it can stop the crank with hydraulic pressure. that is hard on parts  :lol: I have heard that it can happen, but never witnessed it. I think you are alright, though. If you have a couple drops fall out after riding, thats no biggie. I always freak, when I forget to shut off the gas. Its usually just part of the ritual, to shut it off when done. The cylinder and crank both get fuel all the time. There should be no fuel in the transmission no matter what is wrong with the carb.

Nice ride.I seen that on e-bay, right.
Fresh powder coat.  Second owner, first was his father.
What did you pay for that if you don`t mind?

Coyote13:
Yes, it was listed on ebay but it was located near me and I called and made him a cash offer; as a result, he took it off. I probably paid a bit high at $2200 but if it everything he claims it is I am happy with that.

Thanks again

crazyolbastard:
be sure to keep that works pipe clean and spray some wd40 on it after you wash your bike.
if it gets any rust it is like cancer,  it will ruin the looks of that pipe.
great deal at 2200 if you ask me.
