My father-in-law let his 1980 XS 11 Special sit for 5 years with-out starting and last year I attempted to clean the carbs and get it going. When I put the carbs back on and started it fuel would dump back into the Air Cleaner Box and leak out. This was most predominant when you rev'd it up and it came back to idle. I believe I set the float height correctly but am wondering is this a Seating issue or what ? I had cleaned the petcock and tank also.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I took the carbs back off last year and they have been sitting on the work bench in my garage and I would like to resolve this.
Thanks in advance.
