Carb overflow on opening tank.

    Ive a bike that has sat for too long. Working the various parts loose
    is been a chore. Now it looks like the throttle is unstuck, I can shift
    gears (pushing the bike now, not running it.)

    When I open the fuel stopper, fuel seems to pass through the carb and
    into the overflow tube, without moving the trottle at all.

    Is it time to pull the carb, pop it open, look for bugs?

    Ive a bike that has sat for too long. Working the various parts loose
    Its time to remove the float bowl and make sure the float is working
    properly... sounds like the shut off valve isn't seating properly or
    pitted....you may also want to consider rebuilding the carb.

    good luck
