At the top forward of the two carbs, there is a hose linked together with a ''T'', from the T the hose goes over to the right and down. Not sure what this hose is or where it goes. After removing and cleaning jets due to no run condition.......I noticed a gas leak, it was comming from this hose to no where. Is this a vent hose that is leaking because I messed something Up when cleaning carb? or does it hook up some where and is suppose to have gas in it?
It is a vent / overflow hose. It drains to the atmosphere / street. If gas is coming out and isn't stopping then a float is stuck.
Turn off the gas and drain the offending carb(s). Next, turn the gas back on and sharply tap the float bowl with the plastic handle of a screwdriver as the fuel bowl refills. The goal here is to vibrate the float to free it up. If doing this process a couple of times does not free the float I would remove the carb(s) and look for any misalignment of float pin, needle or adjusting tang.
Now re-clean with a spray carb cleaner. Clean the air filter then re-mount carb(s). Next, Remove the water trap bowl at the bottom of the petcock, (gas valve). Dump it, clean it and re-mount it, ( not all bikes have a trap bowl ). INSTALL AN IN-LINE FUEL FILTER..
