2014 xc250 leaking fuel

[Gas gas 1985]

Bike is leaking fuel out of overflow. Bike is stock. Do you guys suppose its just dirt in the carb and need to be cleaned out. It started after I got back from riding on Sunday.

Yeah, I think they all do after a couple rides. Clean the carb out, set the float level and add a inline fuel fliter. It will be good to go after that.

Could be some grit, gummed up a little, or float heights out. I always run an inline filter between the tank and carb, and take the time to set the floats before starting down the jetting path.

Mine did the same thing at the trailhead on my second time out on it. I smacked the float bowl with my boot a few times and it stopped. I did go back and clean the carb and set the float height later on though.
