Post Fuel coming out of the overflow tube on the Mikuni carb
The fuel is steady coming out of the overflow tube, as soon as I go to idle and out of gear, the fuel steady pours out of the tube. I know that is what it is for, but wonderting why is it doing it all the time.

I have the MudBuddy 35 upgraded with single Mikuni carb, dual exhaust, shaved the heads some.

It sounds like they just about all do it when you first install. Do as Craig said and adjust the float tab. Mine did it, after bending the float tab it cleared it up.
