Nice project. Do yourself a favor and throw those cheap pod filters in the trash and buy some quality ones. Those will just cause you problems.

Handsome bike!

Is gasoline escaping through an overflow hose?

Good Fortune! :)

Which of the four overflow hoses is discharging gasoline?

An overflow often results from failure of a float valve to close (for whatever reason).

When a freshly reassembled carb leaks through the overflow circuit, it sometimes helps the float valve to fully close by rapping smartly against the carb bowl with the plastic handle of a large screwdriver. Tap-tap-tap . . . tap-tap-tap.

Can try this method with the engine not running, and again with the engine running at idle speed.

Good Fortune! :)
