Had the carbs off (BS38) and cleaned and they were dry all winter. Got new carb boots from TSR and pods from Mikes XS (had those small cheap ones before). Just put new gas in it and tried to start her up for the season and gas leaks from the air mixture screws! They did stop leaking after the bike ran for a few minutes the first time. First it would only run without the choke. After it warmed up, then it would only run with the choke on and the right side kept trying to quit. If I give the bike a good shake, it would run better for a few seconds. It ran good before I cleaned the carbs and dried them out, so I didn't mess with the floats or make any other adjustments. Just cleaned them and blew out the jets. I always run an inline filter too with clear fuel line so I know it's not dirt. Seems like maybe a float problem?
