That's exactly what happens. It pours out of the overflow. I've tried polishing the seats with no result. Carbs have been cleaned thoroughly several times, gas is coming from a clean external tank and I even added a filter just in case. When I put the needles in it doesn't feel like they're even making contact with the seat or if they are it's only very light. I'm about ready to chuck the whole bike at this point and probably would have if it weren't for the sentimental value. As cheap as needles are I figure it's at least worth a shot.

I did find this article. I realize it's talking about the gl1000 but if it could happen once.
