I rode the bike bake to my garage yesterday. The battery was still dead, but I was able to push start it.
I also found out that I can keep it running with a dead batt. by keeping the rpms above 2k (under that it dies).

On the way back I noticed a gasoline smell while I was sitting at a light. I looked down to see a stream of gasoline coming from my #1 carb  This was made worse by the fact that I didn't reinstall the drain tubes, so the gas was streaming straight onto the engine.

I managed to get the bike back without lighting on fire (although it was smoking by the time I killed the engine...

I know it sounds like a float problem, but how do you adjust that? Could adjusting the idle screw affect this?
