    i would say either your float is set to high or needle isn't seating properly but thats just my guess

    Yeah, I agree, either the drain screw is loose, or the needle and seat assy is not sealing.

    Sounds like the needle valve assembly, adjust, or replace it.

    got mine fixed.....thanks guys for the help....i took it completely apart and cleaned it again .......but i think what the problem was the "float valve" was not seating properly.......85200xryder....what i did was adjust the little tab that the valve rides on......it is attached to the floats.....i just bent it a little bit so that when the floats level out when the bowl is full of fuel...the valve assembly gets pushed down a bit more cutting off the flow of fuel.....good luck...and i hope the explaination is accurate....if not i am sure someone will correct me.......
