93 1500... I just rebuilt the carbs...now darn thing acts like it is flooded...pulled carbs, opened bowls, check floats & tangs...back together...same thing, starts runs about 3 seconds... fuel drips from hose at bottom of bike. Wondering if any thing else could cause this before I reopen the bowls.

There's a chance the float may be stuck, or the fuel valve (needle) and seat are worn and can cause engine flooding.

I noticed the constant velocity sliders are not open the same amount, so I am going to check that, that would cause a difference in the air/fuel mix in the two carbs...Thanks for the reply Trike Lady!

a carb sync.
check vacuum.

hi GP, a crimped carb air vent line will also cause gas to driput of the float bowl area. good luck
