    Bikes been quiet for a couple years. Does start and leaks from carbs.
    Here we go to break her down!
    Found what may be leak culprit!
    O-ring on fuel shaft between 3&2 dry and crusty.
    Wish me luck!

    I have the same problem as you: no problem running, but leaky carbs. About to go to church myself, Godspeed brother!

    Patience and attention to detail. I’m bad at both. But if you can master them, you’ll be fine.

    Well with lots of patience, carb dip, one broken ultrasonic cleaner, and @chacal endless supply of goodies, quick delivery and fantastic customer service, I’m ready for setting float height and wet set. Special shout out to mild Chicago area fall weather making the garage a more hospitable spot!
    New shims and new valve cover seals have arrived!
    This site is endless help, even for a novice and lurker like myself!
    Thanks!
