Default Problems after cleaning carbs

it's a 1993 cbr f2
I pulled them off and unscrewed all the jets, cleaned them really good, put everything back and it seems like its leaking from the two fuel hoses that go to the carbs... The bike sounds like it's bogging out, when it sits idle it sounds good... put it into gear and hold the clutch it sounds like it's about to die and then it does. Last night it got me to the gas station, and when I went to start it the battery was dead, or partially dead b/c I had to get a jump start....

soooooooooooooooooooo
I'm gonna charge the battery, and give it another go. If all fails the carbs come off again and I'll go through the cleaning process again like they were never cleaned and maybe this time all will go well... If anyone has ideas let me know.

"It seems like it's leaking from the two fuel hoses that go to the carbs"

Is it leaking or not?

It could be that your float bowl gaskets are not in straight, or you pinched one and it leaks, they're a real pain in the ***.

Also, jumpstarting a bike with fuel leaking is NOT A GOOD IDEA!, That is unless you want a CBR600 Fireball

You could have set the fuel mixture screws wrong as well.

Make sure your hoses are secure and not leaking, probably a good idea to take the carbs out again and go back over everything.

^^ Exactly...I must've pulled my carbs about 4 times the first time I did this. And I did the gasket pinch too...had to use an older gasket replacement.

First thing you have to do is get that battery condition figured out. Low or wrong voltage to the bike will make it run wrong no matter how good the carbs are tuned.
