Hey everybody, I recently purchased a 98 sportster 1200 (first harley) and absolutely love it. However, before i bought it, the previous owner was having problems with the float bowl on the carb, something was causing it to stick open or something, not sure. So he took it to a local motorcycle shop that deals with strictly harleys, no big deal. Anyways, after about two or three weeks of riding, i noticed a yellowish tint of gasoline dripping down from the carb. I'm thinking all it might need is a new gasket for the float bowl but not quite sure? runs good and everything, it's just more of an annoyance thing and wanting to keep my bike clean and lookin good, any advice and solutions is much appreciated!
