Strange fuel leak from carbs
Hey guys, no idea where this leak is coming from so I recorded a video of it. Happened after I put my gas tank on the bike and only happens when my bike is running:

There is a gasket on the float bowls so I'd check that It may be cracked or installed improperly. Check the fuel lines to the carbs too; follow them from the gas tank to the carbs. See if there is any cracking or hoses that are fully secure. Probably should try that before pulling the crabs to check those gaskets.
EDIT: Could start by draining the fuel out too. You might have something clogging the system up or a stuck float too. Is the fuel coming from the carb vent? Can't really tell from the vid

best way to rule out a leak from a fuel line is to un hook them your bike will run for a few min with out them hooked up and with just the gas in the carbs.

I could be wrong I haven't had mine apart in a while but isn't there a plastic T that feeds fuel to each carb I've seen the little o ring on the T fail and leak like that

The float-valve doesn't close correctly while vibrating.
Either the valve is hardened or the float is rubbing against something. ...........I could be wrong, though.
