Hey,

Last night I finally put everything together on the bike, however the carbs leak gas like no other, when I took them apart none of the gasket material was torn so after I cleaned them out I assembled the carbs with the same gaskets. Is it possible that the seal is compromised over time and opening it would cause the gaskets to not seal properly anymore? The more likely cause I would imagine is that the floats are not cutting off the flow of gas to the carbs as they should. Are all the DOHC carbs have adjustable floats? If they do, approximately where is the adjuster and how should I go about this? I only removed the pin that floats revolve on and the floats and needle that is slipped on the floats when I was rebuilding the carbs. Would any of those actions throw it out of adjustment?

Thanks for any suggestions/help,
