It very well could be, because, when we pulled the motorcycle from the barn, I remember we got it started, and gas was leaking all over the place. (Along with all the gummage in the carbs) So it must be that, I'll go ahead and pull them back off, and get some o-rings.It sounds like you have extreme flooding of the LH cylinder, do not keep running the engine like that, washdown loss of lube on that piston, thinned crankcase oil etc. IMHO those carbs need to come off again. I'd be willing to bet on a bad o-ring, let us know what you find. A "will fit" oring can usually be found at the local auto parts store.
Though I don't know what you mean by washing down loss of lube on the piston.
