So I haven't started my bike in a couple of weeks. Went outside and started it up first kick. Then I realized my left carb is leaking like a mofo. Seems like it is coming out of the intake (air filter seems to be leaking gas) and not just a small drip, but a steady stream. Bike didn't have this issue a couple weeks back.
 
probably one of these:
- the float developed a hole and sunk.
- the float needle is sticking, not shutting off gas flow.

tap the side of the carb bowl a few times, might unstick the float needle. turn the petcock to prime and see if it leaks. if it still does you have to remove the carbs
