ok so if the bike is running right and all parts are preforming as they should is it ok for a small and i mean small amount of gas to collect at the back of the carb towards the air filters??? its not even enough to drip it just shines and you know its wet thats it....thank you in advance for any help:-D
 
the float bowl gasket is what goes between the bottom half of the carb with the drain plug in it and the upper portion of the carb body correct???...if so , that cant be it because its coming through the carb but like i said its not enough to even drip or leak its just enough to become shiny and if you rub your finger there its moist .(please refrain from dirty thoughts)8-[ ...i am seriously at a loss ive cleaned the carbs as per the carb cleanup page and installed everything with new everything (literally)...i guess maybe the float needle isnt working properly???....thank you for the input as always [-o<
 
Think about it. My guess is the (intake cam timing) intake valves are coming off their seats a tad early, is letting a bit of compression blowback through the carbs at idle and what you are seeing is a bit of puddling from this

ME tinks dat was mentioned, and I've got to agree..."must check valve timing/clearance" also, from closer inspection, if it is stock exhaust with a "cosmetic" up grade, and the bike has been rejeted (may have situation confused here), you'll be running rich, which, along with the valve lash, will cause the situation that you are describing. That and .02 cents. Gumball anyone? :-D
 
ok so im guessing from responses gas should not be doing that no matter what....thank you...now for the valve clearance ill check out previous posts and see what i need and i guess open this bad boy up....appreciate the help guys :-D

I am doing the carbs and valves myself right now. I just ordered the tappet depressor which I HOPE will be here SOON so I can get this bike running! A little gas leaking would be expected I guess or the wouldnt have designed the air box with drainage hoses ;)

The drain that you're looking at in the airbox, is for any blow-by from the crankcase vent and additional/excess filter oil. There should be no fuel seen to any extent, on the air intake side of the carb body.

now that answers my question....so besides rechecking the carbs,check valve clearances and this could possibly solve the fuel leakage issue??
