While transporting vino classic in a trailer, the bike fell over. It laid on its left side until I found it hours later. Puddle of gas where it was down. Now gas is dripping out of a short hose that seems to come out of the air filter. The bike will not start

Try removing the air filter and cleaning it. It may have excess oil on it from when the bike fell over. If the bike laid on its side for awhile you may have to replace the filter depending on how much oil it soaked up.
if there are tubes coming out of the compressor on the side that it was laid over on, then give it 24 hours just to be safe, if no tubes plug it in and let it run
Clean all oil from the bike exterior. Leave it sitting in an upright position for a period of time. This may require a bike lift or other such device. Then look for leak source. Make sure oil level is not too high. When changing oil it often gets on the cross member and may leak when on the jiffy satnd for a while until it is all gone from this area. Make sure to always use thread sealant and a good o-ring on the drain plug.
I believe it may have been laid down during transport. Leave it unplugged for another 24 hours and allow the compressor oil to return back down to the compressor. This is a very common problem if laid down on side during transport. After this time replug the power cord and listen and feel to insure warm air blows from bottom of refrigerator and cold air in freezer. The oil is to thick and heavy to be pushed through the capillary tube. Just be patient and not try to push the time getting it to cool again as the compressor will continue to overheat if oil remains in the cap tube. Thanks Sea Breeze
Has the bike been sitting??? If the carbs are gummed up from sitting and the float and or float needle get stuck in the "add fuel" position it could cause this
