Still figuring out things with my 72' R75/5. Today I was visiting a friend and parked the bike on a very slight uphill grade (its Florida so everything is pretty much flat). I neglected to turn the gas off and noticed the right cab was leaking out fuel. It was from the small exit hole on the bottom of the float bowl or overflow tube. I shut off the peacock and rolled the bike down to the street where it is level. Rode home and no more leaking. Left the peacock on for a few minutes after parking in garage and still no leak.
I assume the uneven surface raised the floats and caused the gas leak but it is odd since it was only on the one side. Should I be concerned or is this normal?
