Fuel leaking after carb cleaning
 

Experts:

I did my own carb-cleaning per the sticky in this forum. After re-assembly, I have multiple fuel leaks. I believe 1 from each cylinder.

What are the general causes of this and how do I determine what needs to be fixed/replaced? I have 4 sets of gaskets on order. (I didn't replace any components during the cleaning.)

The bike sat for three years and was not stored properly, FYI.

I'm desperate for help. I'm dying to get this thing running before Ohio weather keeps me from riding this season.

Its really hard to say where the fuel leaks are coming from without looking. But anytime its sat for a period if time and you take it apart, all the orings and such that are used to being in a specific position no longer seal correctly. Look witha flashlight and try yo determine where its leaking. Look at the float bowls, the pilot jets, and also, the tubes that connect between the carbs. If you already ordered all the gaskets then I would go ahead and change all of them. Then you know they are new and won't have to pull the carbs to keep replacing this and that.

I didn't realize you had a separate thread for this! Anyway, check out your other thread.
