So if that's the case either the float valves are sticking or the fuel level is set too high. I would clean (or if damaged replace) the float valves and if that doesn't stop the leak I would try the clear tube test to see where the fuel level is set. And for sure check the oil as Patton suggests because it may be leaking through the engine side of the carbs too and seeping into the crankcase. Ed
Sorry about yesterday Ed I was having a really bad day and you were correct it was a sticky float thank you everyone for the info I do greatly appreciate all of your help.

And whatever you do, don't use silicone sealant on your bowls lol that's what caused mine to stick after my rebuild lol
