the drain pipes, one at the bottom of each carb are overflow. They originally had 12 -18 inch tubes that ran to the back of the motor and down (to drain). More importantly, one leaking fuel probably means a float is sticking. Try tapping that carb bowl with a screw driver. If that doesn't work try unscrewing the overflow screw (same place as the drain pipe). Don't remove it, just loosen it and tighten it back up again (not too tight). Which carb is it, an inner or an outer carb? Was the bike still running?

"YES", as I said I would post the pic's once the bike was done. I was on the road for the first time this weekend. All looked good and the bike started nicely. But the fun was short lived. There are 4 drain pipes at the bottom of the carburetor and I can't find were they are suppose to connect to? One is leaking fuel. Could someone help me out I really want to get out on the road with the bike and not for a 20 min ride?
