Hello and Thank you for reading this and hopefully--your advice.
I have an older Intruder 1400 I inherited that has not seen much use. It will run and I rode it last week with no issues.
Starting it up yesterday--gas came pouring out the back of the bike. Not at the petcock.
The gas stopped when I shut the engine off even if I left petcock open.
I really appreciate any insight y'all might be able to give me. Please see these videos--not sure if I can attache there here directly. Thanks in advance.

Looks like it is coming from the fuel pump. Could be a bad pump or a cracked line.

Wow--Thanks for the speedy reply!! I will check that out asap.
Thinking cracked fuel line....This bike has sat in a warehouse for a long time. I would think if it were a bad fuel pump--I would have noticed signs.
Everything worked fine last weekend but yesterday--the gas flowed like a river.

By the way, this is the fuel pump. Easy to get to and easy to swap out.

Being that it has sat, unridden for such a long time, perhaps you problem is dirt/ rust particles from the tank.
That it ran once, but afterwards now leaks leads me to believe that such debris might be stuck in the Needle/Seat of the Rear Carb and preventing the Needle/Float from closing off the incoming Gas..... letting gas flow past and out the Float Bowl Vent.
