    Ok so first post here. I have a miss in my number one cylinder the first one on the left side of bike it started by flooding out to the point of gas coming out a small hole in exhaust and the aircleaner housing then it ran fine for a while now I have no fuel delivery at all. A strange fluid comes out of the exhaust hole its not gas it could be water but it smrlls like playdough its not squirting out but it drips and nothing comes out of the aircleaner housing. I'm trying to avoid rebuilding the carbs I think some gunk that was stuck it it is causing the lack of fuel but the fluid is what is tripping me up any help is much appreciated thanks guys

    What type of bike do you have. That will help everyone out. Check your oil to see if there's gas in it...

    There are people in this forum that know a lot more then me, butI would do a compression check if that is good.I would guess sticking float/bad float valve.

    Where you are, the seasonal atmospheric conditions most likely prohibit all the water vapor present, as a byproduct of a gasoline-fueled internal combustion engines, to condense within the exhaust system rather than being totally expelled in the form of steam.

    If it is just the one carb. I would check the float.
