Your carb's floatbowl overflow is where the leak is coming from. Its a tube that runs down the frame in the middle of the bike to the ground from the bottom of the carb, and it should not be doing that. The reason it does that, is because you didnt properly empty the carbs before storage, and old gas has gummed up inside the carb and is clogging the float needle, and probably the jets (hence the loss of power). You need to have the carb taken off and cleaned out properly. The jets, body, and passages inside the carb need to be completely free of varnished gas, and debris. If you take it to a shop, you might as well get a rebuild kit for it (10-20 bucks) and have the tech install new seals etc. since it will be off the bike and apart anyway.</p></blockquote><p></p>
