hi all, more stuff happening with my 1980 gsx 750. just reset valves, cleaned carbs and fitted new exhaust rubbers.still running rough and noticed that there is a petrol leak at the air filter side,at the rubber from one of the carbs,could understand it drawing air, but not leaking fuel, cant be sealed properly,think my clamp must be worn,which I am going to try and replace today,do you think that there still a blockage in the carb?another thing going on after setting valves is quite a loud tappity noise from top left of engine,am sure got settings right...but may have to go in check again, unless there is a connection with faulty carb... in a bit of a black hole here,all suggestions appreciated,cheers

Fuel leak may be caused by a sticking needle. Tap on the bowl for said carb.

As for cleaning carbs, did you do a FULL dip?

If you went a bit looser on the specs for the valves, they may tap a little bit.
