Motorcycle Repair: Carb problem on 87 honda shadow 1100cc, honda shadow, carbs

Question
Hi, hope you can help me out. I have a 1987 honda shadow 1100cc the bike runs but it jets fuel out of the breather tubes  and the air conecter connecting the two carbs. Any idea why? Could it be the diaphram? Thanks

Answer
Sounds like the floats are stuck and it's dumping fuel out the overflow tubes.  I think you'll want to pull the carbs and find out why the needles and seats don't shut off.  Could be dirty carbs from old fuel or rust or dirt coming from the tank.

Regards
