I have a 95 S2 with a mikuni carb and hypercharger. The leak started as a small one then progressed to leak that will empty the tank in a day. Its coming from the float overflow hose. It just wouldn't stop flowing. It wasn't a free flowing but a small continous flow. If any one has any cures I would appreeciate the help. TIA!

Rebuild the carb, you've got a sticky float.

If this is happening when the bike is parked, shut of the petcock until you rebuild the card.

Ride safe

Thanks for the help. Yes it is leaking most when its parked. I'm not sure how much when I'm riding but I know it does leak alittle. Where do I buy the re-build kits and is it hard?.
