help, gas leak

[kayakcullen]

Can someone help me? Getting kind of annoyed, not sure what to do now. Got an 82 XS650. Just recently put a Pamco ignition on and cleaned my carb, putting new seals all around. The problem is I have a leak on my right float bowl drain screw and drain hole. I put new screws in and it still leaks. I am new to carbs, so what would cause it to leak there if its not the screw? I am really not sure where to go. I am sure its simple, but can someone help me?

Try some teflon thread tape

It is a tapered end that shuts the fuel off. Either the seat or the screw end is buggered.

I guess I should clerify that it only leaks with the bike running. I've tried putting it on primer without the bike running. Still does nothing. I took the bike down the road and back last night and now both carbs have a very slow leak at the float bowl. The right is a little more than the left. I know I have something off. I was always told that carbs can be a pain, but jeez. Anybody got any ideas? I know I'm missing something.
