I THOUGHT I fixed my ninja by cleaning the carbs. It ran for 30 minutes, I parked it, then rode it ten minutes to the gas station to fill up with premium. Bike wouldn't start and when it did, I had to keep it at 6K rpm to keep it running. I recleaned the carbs, replaced plugs and cleaned the filter, but it won't run for more than a minute (and I have to hold throttle half open) before dying. Then it drops a ton of gas on the ground. I found out the gas was coming from the airbox drain when I opened the airbox and found the filter was soaked!
The carb has been completely cleaned because the previous owner let it sit. I even measure float heights and blew all the lines clean with air.

Can anybody with experience or a similar problem please help?

Thank you,
Camron
