Well I see no one is answering yoo, so I'll try to help.

Do yoo live on the northern hemisphere or the southern?

If yoo live on the northern hemisphere, yoo may have what is called
recurrent bubble. And only occurs when there is not enough fluid pressure in
the tank to fill the carbs (like half a tank)
If yoo live in the southern hemisphere, the reverse could be true that too
much pressure on the carbs floats keeps gas from leaving the tank.

But then I'm not a Honda expert.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
