i seem to be leaking some fuel and i can see where its coming from. it looks like some type of fuel rail ontop of the carbs but im not for sure on that. thier are two spouts on either side and i am dumping fuel outta the left spout. anybody know wat this piece is called, wat the purpose is and possably if i can just stop the leak myself? i have circles the two "spouts" in the attached picture

 

They are overflow tubes for your carbs, and they usually have fuel coming out of them if the float bowls get too full or something of that nature.. Mine is doing the same thing as we speak..

 

ok so does that meen i need the carbs adjusted or if i ride it enough will it use up the extra fuel?

 

Unless the idea of riding with a flaming crotch is apealing to you, I would fix the fuel leak. You probably have a float that is sticking...not stopping the fuel flow into the carbs at the full level... Remove the carbs and clean them.

 

so i just looked at morbidphils posts about his bike and i did the same, i just unplugged the fuel pump and the leak goes away and the bike runs perfectly fine. i belive he said something about some bad o-rings? could this be correct?

 

The floats are attached to a needle that seats and stops gas from entering the bowls when full. It is not doing its job.
Try to understand that the pump is there because the lower half of the fuel tank is lower than the carbs. The bike will run on gravity feed only until the level in the tank matches the carbs...then you can not access the rest of the fuel.

 

oddly enough the leak has stopped itself. i was riding it with the fuel pump unplugged until the bike died then i plugged it back in fired it up and was riding all afternoon with no leaks..

 

Yup. Sticking float. Remove and clean carbs or add seafoam and see if the mechanic in a can solution works.
