I'm sure Gordon checked everything in your carbs thoroughly. That's why I mentioned dirt/silt/debris from the tank.

The dripping petcock needs to be fixed, but isn't causing your current problems

Fuel system cleaners won't stop junk from the tank messing up clean carbs, but I don't know that you have that problem. I certainly wouldn't jump to the conclusion that you need more carb work until you determine if you have a problem at all, and if so, what it is.

- My tank looked clean as a whistle from what I saw. No particles came out and its shiny silverish.

- I did notice that with the tank off and petcock set to "ON" there was a TINY TINY drip every minute or so. One drip every minute or so. Could that be an issue?

- Is it safe to be riding with this going on? Ive been riding it for weeks and it seems fine?

- Should I try running some fuel system cleaner through? Am I going yo have to pull the carbs again?
