I recently bought a 1977 xs650 and finally passed my motorcycle test and all that. But I went to start up the bike but when I turned the gas petcocks to ON gas started to just pour out from somewhere between the carbs. I'm new to this but I'm pretty sure that's not supposed to happen. There's also some sort of liquid (i assume gas) coming from some clear tubes out the bottom of the carbs. But these tubes go nowhere. They just hang down pass the frame. I have no idea what those are.
But the bike has only been sitting in my garage for a couple weeks. When I bought it the guy started it up and it ran fine, no gas leaking anywhere. So I don't know how this could have happened.
I've been googling for hours about carbs and gas leaking, but can't find anything about gas leaking from between the carbs. And I can't really tell what exactly its leaking from cause everything is so tightly crammed together on this bike that I can't even see in there.
Any ideas?
