Hey,

Pulled an all nighter last night after work, (buddies have a planned ride this upcoming Saturday). Originally carb number 2 became soaked all around and dripped from the lowest points, not through the overflow route. I was unsure what would happen if the floats were off or if the gasket was bad...after letting the gas evaporate and re attaching it to the tank multiple times to diagnose the leak through what appeared wet, I noticed that it was getting wet above the bowl...I did not remove any of the carbs from the bracket when I cleaned them, I am thinking some of the carb cleaner got in the fuel 'rail' and deterioted one of the o rings. Went to my university and put o rings in last night, now I am getting the symptoms of an overfilled bowl in carb #1. It flows steadily forever through the overflow channel. I will definitely try your suggestion today when I get home, considering I was starting to run out of ideas you are a god send this morning haha. I think I will clean where the needle sits and adjust the float just a tad, I am not exactly the most careful mechanic when I am working..could definitely see the tab on the float being bent a tad.

Sorry I haven't posted any pics yet, they will be up eventually!

Thank you,
