If it is coming out the top boot (as pictured)then you have a leaking diaphragm, the top half should be dry.

I see a trend starting I don't like.
Magic it was.
pulled carbs again. I'm real good at that now down to about 15-30 minutes.
drop the #3 carb bowl fill it up with fuel and pushed accelerator pump and it spraying right out at the shaft. torn apart put back together and same.
Got another #3 carb bowl installed accelerator pump on it and tested pump and no spraying around shaft.
Installed new bowl gasket , installed carb rack and up and running with no leaks now.

Got a chance to meet up with Allen and had a great afternoon! :thanks:
Here is the scoop; he swapped out a carb from the other carb rack and the acc pump is no longer leaking, new slow jets and I synced the carbs with him and got it to run smooth. The issue that still remains is that there is gas dripping by into the intake when the engine is off and is hydrolocking the engine a bit on start up (including the puff pf smoke from unburned gas when it starts) plus one of the vacuum slides is sticking. The sync gauges show that it is #2 slide that is sticking.
The float needles and seats must still be dirty and not sealing well enough. I showed him how to clean the needle with a gummed up one from the other carb rack. The bike runs great otherwise!
He can ride it right now, but I suggested cleaning those needles and try to get them to seal. We discussed how to test to see if they are sealing correctly with the carbs off the bike. All in all, it was a great day!

Run atf in the fuel and turn off the fuel and wait until it sputters to shut it down. It should fix itself doing that. Except maybe the slides those may need polished.

Well I pulled carbs again to clean float seat.
Now today go to start it and I got a water leak. Its what you call 1 step forward 5 steps backards for me and this bike.
I replaced the O-rings and gasket for the front of motor this summer when I started working on this motor. But now a water leak on left side of cover up by the top of cover near water inlet to motor and I guess its running to the lowest part of cover and down front of cover. Here's some pictures showing in highlight were water is seen running.
