      Is the leak coming from the link tube?

      JB Weld isn't fuel resistant so don't bother using it on your carbs.

          Has the bike been stood for a while with no fuel in the carbs? If so, how long?

              whatever happens you will need to strip and seperate the carbs to fix the leak.
              take them apart and then determine the problem.
              while they are apart it gives you the ideal opportunity to dip them and give them a proper good clean

                  The rubbers can shrink when the bike is out of use but will swell up on contact with petrol and are fine again. However, as yours were leaking when the bike was in use they are probably boogered (but worth dunking in petrol overnight to see if it cures).

                  Robinsons still stock new ones in the UK if that's any use to you.

                          if it is an emergency the "wrap them with some teflon tape" trick works pretty good, too.
