Newly rebuilt carb still leaking

[phlooke]

Are you sure that the "reserve" switch (petcock) on the side of the frame is not set to "prime" i.e. twelve o'clock position (pointing straight up

I had this exact same problem and was plesed to resolve it by switching the dial to the six o'clock position i.e. pointing to the floor.

The Prime position by-passes the reserve switch (petcock, whatever) and directly feeds fuel via gravity feed to the carbs....regardless of the age of the  float valve it'll leak, trust me !

Good Luck.

FINALLY!!!  Many thanks to everytone who has helped.  Even after I rebuilt the carbs, I still had a fuel leak.  We pretty much narrowed it down to possibly one or both of the petcock valves.  I bought some from Flash, they were in great condition!!!  He was such a big help.  Anyway, put the whole bike back together yesterday, rebuilt carbs, new fuel line and now the two petcock vales.  So far... NO LEAKS AT ALL!!!!
