Happens when 2 things occur, 1) the petcock fails to close, and 2) your float needles leak fuel (typically the o rings on the needle seat).

Rebuild your pectcock or buy a new one (hint: the 84/85 petcocks are cheaper, but you lose that goofy reserve switch)

Last I checked RPM has them is stock.

You may find your float needle seat o rings need attention or you have debris between the needle and seat, or both.
