Question about an old suzuki motorcycle.PLEASE HELP?
I have an 82 GS450 I've been bobbing but I've ran into a problem. I removed the air box and put on slip on cleaners then removed the air box. I put a slip on filter on the vent hose from the valve cover vent also but for some reason now when the bike is revved up around five grand gas pours out of it all over the motor. Is there some thing wrong or is there something I'm not doing right? It's the vent hose that come out of the top end above the valves. Any help would be great!! Thanks so much
And no it has nothing to do with the carbs. It is the hose that comes out of the valve cover that usually is connected to the air box. I did not block it I put a 1/8 filter on it but filter or not it shoots gas out at high rpm's.

Vent hose above the valves? Isn't that the overflow for the gas that goes in the engine? If it is, you are simply getting more gas than the bike needs. Turn back your fuel on your carbs. But first, turn your fuel line off, start the bike, let it die, turn fuel on gas tank a quarter of the way on and start bike again, rev bike to 5 grand and see if it does it. If it does, you have a more serious problem in the engine. But I am going to bet your fuel mixture is too high or your floats are stuck.

No vent pipes should be covers, it sounds like like an engine vent you've covered.
The air filter should be situated on the inlet of the carburetor seen on the right here.
Right of carburetor. http://carbjetkits.com/images/full/13.jpg
Any fuel coming out could also be the float height not set properly in the carburetor.
