| Carburetor on 2003 yamaha roadstar (xv1600) will spit gas out on hot cylinder heads and crankcase unpredictably. happens when restarting engine after engine has been stopped for a short period after coming in from a ride. ride can be short or long; unpredictable. was checked by dealer during first few months when new and carb needle was replaced. problem has persisted and occurs every few months thereafter and is only resolved by turning off fuel valve before stopping so carb empties. numerous other riders have seen same problem. last event for me shown below in incident date. *jb | |||
