I re clean the crabs and checked the patcock it is running better

when I got it in the garage that a black hoes that is coming from
the bottom of the air box is leaking some gas. Is it leftover from
the first issue or is it a new one?
Thanks for helping

Carbs must be surgical clean.... Make shure every jet, port and

the heart of the bike
