Carb help!

[Big Red 200]

Well, the other day I was ridin my 200es around and decided to paint the tank since I had about half gallon of red sittin around. So I painted it, put the tank back on and now there's gas coming out the over flow. I'm not sure what happend in that 45 minutes. Could it be the float, seats or what?
Thanks.

It might not even be something to do with the paint it could have just happened at the same time. Try cleaning your carb out. When I went riding yesterday i could smell fuel then i looked and my carb was leaking. I took my carb off then I found out that my overflow screw was a little loose so i tightened it and it stopped it. If you don't fix it it can and may drive u mad lol I absolutely hate it when my carb starts leaking but recently when its been happening to me I manage to fix it with not much hassle.

Thanks! I'll go try that in a little bit. I didn't think it had anything to do with the paint, just thought it was strange how it went from runnin great to not runnin in 45 minutes.

Well, found out the problem was that I'm just dumb:lol: I had the hoses hooked up wrong and now it's runnin great again.
