Why is my Honda 450 Foreman leaking fuel?
Re: My Honda 450 Foreman is leaking fuel from the hose… This problem can occur on any bike that is carburetted and uses a needle and seat/float bowl system. Basically any bike that isn’t fuel injected in other words. The reason fuel is being dumped is because it isn’t getting shut off and is flowing past the needle/seat.

Can a faulty spark plug cause a carburetor problem?
Ensure that compression is up to par in all of the cylinders, the valves are adjusted to their set clearances and the ignition system is operating properly. Often a faulty spark plug, wire, sticking ignition points or sticking, improperly-adjusted or leaking valves can mistakenly be diagnosed as carburetor trouble.
What happens when a carburetor is stuck on a car?
A stuck manifold heat-control valve, or commonly called the heat-riser, can cause warm-up and cold drivability problems. If this valve is stuck in the cold position, it will constantly direct hot exhaust gasses under the carburetor. This can cause hard starting when hot, as the fuel will have boiled out of the float bowl.
Why is gas leaking from the bottom of the carburetor?
Using the handle end of a screw driver, gently tap the bottom of the carburetor bowl a few times. (We are trying to move the float if it is stuck.) If the above steps do not solve the problem, there is probably dirt in the carburetor needle and seat system.

Major intake leaks might prevent the engine from starting at all.

What to do if your carburetor float is stuck?
If you find a split in the gas line you will need to replace it with 3/16″ gas vinyl line. You can pick that up at the local auto parts store. Next, determine if the carburetor float is stuck. Using the handle end of a screw driver, gently tap the bottom of the carburetor bowl a few times.
Why does my car idle when there is a vacuum leak?
This is mainly because the throttle body is trying to hold a stable idle by opening and closing the throttle valve. If you have a major vacuum leak, the throttle body will have a problem trying to control it, resulting in strange idle symptoms. It can also be because the air-fuel mixture is getting wrong because of the vacuum leak.
