Hey so i'm brand new to this forum and the bike world, I was hoping you guys could shed some wisdom..

I bought a 1991 CBR600F2 (44,000kms) last year and stored it for the winter. I put fuel stabil in it, did an oil change, took the battery out, and propped up the tires off the ground. The guy I bought it from seemed to know his bikes, and he was **** with all of his, which is why it's in pretty good condition.

Here's the fun part. I went to the garage yesterday to start it up for the first time this year and then get license plates later, but as soon as I turned on the gas, it just started pouring gasoline everywhere. It does start but it leaks gas all over the place as long as the gas valve is on.

I took off the gas tank to get a better look, it seems to be leaking from 2 places: 1) a small pipe on the bottom of the carbs (i think this is the overflow pipe?) and 2) the t-joint that supplies fuel to carbs 3 and 4 (possibly on carbs 1 and 2 as well but I couldnt really see that joint).

I've been reading a lot of threads and the problem doesnt seem too intense which is a huge relief. My question to you guys is, what do you think is wrong? I'm thinking either the o-rings went bad or maybe the float valves are stuck? Secondly, how do I fix it? I don't have a haynes/clymer manual so I'd rather take it to a mechanic that knows whats going on depending on how much you think its going to cost.

IDoDirt, I love your picture-posts so please feel free to add some input. Sorry for the long post.
