Carbs won’t stop leaking

Carb 2 in particular continues to leak down the face of the float bowl and drip off the bowl drain.

I did a thorough rebuild as they were all looking this way and I thought maybe the bowl gaskets were long overdue for a change.

You know what you gotta do.

this.

i'm in the middle of rebuilding my dirt bike, same bullshit, put it all back together, turn on fuel, fuel starts leaking, i start crying, work on your own bikes they said, it'll be fun they said fml

but yes, you gotta take it apart, re-clean it, check allllll gaskets and screws etc etc
 
Mystery solved. Carb #2 float bowl seal didn’t seat properly and had malformed when I rebuild them recently, thus the leaking. Now, no more leaking.
