Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Your petcock is possibly bad, I would highly recommend getting the carbs re-built and cleaned.
In order to post a pic you must host it, I use photobucket.

You either have:
1) A vacuum petcock which is leaking past the diaphragm directly into one of the carbs through the vacuum line, or
2) a leaking needle valve in one of the carb float bowls and: a manual petcock left ON, a vacuum petcock left on PRIME, or a malfunctioning vacuum petcock
You can check for #1 by pulling the vacuum line and seeing if any gas comes out. If it's #2 you likely have dirt or rust in the tank and sitting in your float bowls as well, and it's probably time for a tank and carb cleaning. Best not to leave your vacuum petcock on PRIME (or manual on ON). You're asking a lot of those little float needles to hold back your fuel pressure perfectly when the bike's not running. You can also try rapping on your float bowls with a block of wood to see if you can knock the needles into their seats, but if there's a chunk of dirt or rust in their way there's little help other than carb overhaul.

gas leak
gas leak
I just had the carbs rebuilt and put on a new gas tank. I think the hoses are not connected correctly. Need a diagram of the gas tank and hoses. I saw a post of where the hoses come from the carb but nothing to show the gas tank connection.
