Every start I get a fuel leak, I guess I will have to strip the bike down but is there anything I should be looking for. I have had the carbs apart and cleaned and replaced the valves so far, fuel obviously doesnt leak when the fuel tap os off so I know its not the tank. What next please? :?

When i started me LC up after the build,the right carb pissed out of petrol which was a bit of crud stopping the valve from shutting.
Dam kawaskai parts as they were KR1S carbies :lol:
