Gs450 Leakage from ports

[Trevhead]

Hi, I got a GS450 for a really good price. I had to re-jet it to get it running right, because the person i got it from put on pods and straight pipes. I jetted it a little rich, but it still ran fine. But randomly it's been leaking gas out of the Ports when I turn the petcock on. I've tried everything, cleaning the jets, adjusting the floats, cleaned and inspected pretty much everything, but it still leaks like a stuck pig.

Anyone got any ideas what the culprit may be?

Replace the petcock and float needles. Make sure your floats don't have any holes in them making them less buoyant.
