Bike was sitting for about 8 months. No fuel stabilizer in bike. Put in some fresh fuel. Battery was dead. Tried to coast and got it started. Fuel started pouring out of "vacuum line" on top of crankcase that goes to the air box. Thinking it was flooded, I turned off the petcock and ran it for about a minute. Fuel still pouring out the air box. Then, took out oil plug and lots of fuel came pouring out. Most likely mixed with what oil was in the crankcase. I had one friend say that the floats were stuck in the carb and it need a rebuild. Another said it was a blown head gasket. Allowing all that fuel to get into the crankcase. Any idea to the problem? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Also, if it is the head gasket, what other O-rings/gaskets should I buy?
