Default running problems

Ok here is my problem. Wed. I was riding to work at about 60 mph. and the bike started stumbling and cut off. I switched over to reserve tank and nothing. So I had to push it over two miles to work. Well to day I got to work on it and the pump is pumping, fuel lines are clean and it still wont start. I took the airbox out and sprayed a little gas into the carbs and as long as I do that it will run but as soon as I stop it quits. Help this is my only mode of trans. [/align]that was yesterday[/align][/align]and this is today[/align][/align]
ok . got it running but found a fuel leak. The vent tube on the inside of the tank has a small hole in it. so I drained the gas to where it is below the hole so it wont leak. Then I installed my K&N that came in today now the bike doesnt want to run over 3 thousand rpms. So I am off to put the stock dirty filter back in to see if that makes any difference. Is there any way to fix the hole in the vent tube or is my tank shot? Hopefully I can fix it because it is a smokin joes edition bike and I will prob not find another one used.
Still doing the same thing after changing filter it will start all the time now and it isnt leaking because I have the fuel below the pinhole. And it wont rev past 2700-3000 rpms. help what do i check. this is my first bike and it has been great for the past 1200 miles until now [/align][/align][/align]

I am also going to drain the tank and make sure the petcock screen is clean. I also might bypass the pump again to go gravity fed and see if that makes a difference
