I'm trying to bring back a Suzuki Marauder back to ridable condition. The bike is a 2002 that was sitting for a couple years. I replaced the battery added some fuel and tried to start it. No go. Checked fuel flow and there was an issue. The petcock was clogged and upon further inspection the tank was pretty rusty inside. I replaced the petcock and fuel filter, cleaned the tank. The bike starts but runs rough. I'm almost positive it needs the carbs cleaned. My biggest concern is that there is gas coming from the air vent hose on the rear carb. I took it for a quick spin but it left a trail of gas and I got gas all over my leg. Is the carb clogged and it's sending the gas out the airflow line? The bike does seem to be running on both cylinders. I'd much rather do the work myself if it's just a dirty carb.
Thanks
