Then it's easy to get at, try tapping the carb bowl, loosening and
retightening the overflow screw. Try another ride, put seafoam in the
tank. Is it still leaking?

It was an outer one and it was running, it seemed like it didn't
leak fuel until the bike was turned off. It might have been leaking
while I was riding but I couldn't tell. The one that is leaping is
the outer one on the RT side (when sitting on the bike.)
Thank you,

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?
