I was warming up my bike to ride to work, but forgot to open the petcock. While inside, it died as it should.  cooldude I opened it and restarted, all of a sudden fuel started pissing out all over the left side of the engine. Sounds like one or more stuck float valves?

Lost a beautiful day to ride.....

Sounds more like O-rings in the fuel rail and

No, I haven't touched anything in there. It just seems a strange coincidence that I ran the bowls dry and it starts leaking. Looks like I've got a wrenching date in the next few days....
