Seems like the gas leaking from the #2 carb means a bad petcock. At least that's what I've seen in other threads.

I am not disagreeing with you GT the Petcock is bad but should the floats keep the gas from over flowing and hold it in the tube..... aye aye aye...
I am not very happy about this.

Well if I leave the gas on and put her on the kickstand she leaks gas, but if she is on the center stand she is good or if I make sure to turn the gas off with the switch positioned just right, she doesn't leak either.... I think I am good with that. All that is left is the rebuild kit for the front master cylinder, which is currently sitting at my bikes parts store awaiting pay day. So I am going to call this rebuild through. Thank you all for those who have followed this and I hope to get plenty of ride time in Sunny Northeast Florida in the coming years. Final pictures to finish her out.

And what she is now.
Thank you once again to all those who have followed or provide thought and advice.

Next project is going to be a naked goldwing, or a GS 1100ES in the 82-84 range, but if I can find a Katana in that year range I may be willing to try and find more moeny. Just haven't quite decided and it actually depends on what comes available at the best price and whether or not I have the money at the time. I will keep you guys posted besides I can't ever give up this site it is full of to many great people. The wife is swearing no more projects..lol. I said but this time I have a running bike so the pressure is not as high to "Get 'er Done!"

I hear ya' on the pressure comment... that's why I haven't even started on the little Duc motor yet, enjoying riding the 450 way too much to start thinking about the next project

Well rode her down today and got the inspection passed. Then rode down into Portsmouth and picked up my master cylinder rebuild kit. It is just so nice to be riding again.

Little update. Finally got the carb thing figured out then was having trouble keeping her idleing. Took it down to the bike shop to have the Carbs synched and he had to adjust the timing and replace the points. But she runs like a demon now.... even took her up on the Interstate on the way home. Don't care for that ... sitting up like I do on this bike and with the wide grips I was getting buffetted around pretty good. I will stick to the side roads whenever possible. Keep riding guys.

Glad to hear she's running well now Paul, always good to see things getting better and better
You need to get a small screen if you need to do highway miles. I can't believe the difference my home made one makes and it's pretty tiny and unobtrusive.
