leaking gas then fine?

Hi everybody. I'm brand new to this site and just got a 454 2 weeks ago. I'm a new rider but have worked on cars, boats, lawnmowers, etc. Took the bike out a couple of days ago. Ran great for about 25 miles and then I came to a stop sign and the bike cut off. Wouldn't crank back up. I rolled it off the road and noticed gas was dripping off the bottom of the left carb like the airbox was full. I guess the bowl filled up?? Let it sit for about 15 minutes. Fired it up, drove it home and let it idle in the yard. Not a drop of gas came out!! I put carb cleaner in the tank with high test gas and took it out yesterday. Drove it 70 miles. Not one single issue!! Any ideas. Maybe a piece of trash or something in the bowl?

Yep.Sounds like a little "trash" holding the needle from seating.

Thanks for the info. I figured that might have been what it was since it ran fine after that.
