carbs leaking from one of two pipes that hang of?

[wig]

My carbs are drizzling petrol out of one of the 2 black rubber pipes that run from the long tube on the top and are held by a metal bendy bit, they rest just above the starter motor.

ok ill have a look tonight, i hate pulling the carbs of the bike as it seems so brutal.
it was fine until i almost ran out of petrol. I guess dirt form tank cud cause problems but filter should stop that
mot tomorow

after a spin, the bike was fine.
passed its mot.
since then recently i removed the thing that stops it going over 180 kph, it manages 200 kmp (on private roads) but no faster.
then riding to visit my bro, it was going well and then felt weird, I slowed down and stopped at a brige and the fuel was comming out of those pipes again!
I have just spent last night completeley cleaning the carbs, etc I even changed the carbs to my spare set.
the fuel pump is from a 600 cc bike - I was wandering if the problem could be that most of the time the fuel pump isnt even working (poss elec fault) and that when it does work, it has too much pressure for the floats to turn of the fuel?
cycling was fun this morning.

found the problem - just so someone else will know in the future and can save time without having to google forever.

I phoned up a local bike dealer - To ask about getting some more float valves. £20 each and have to order....mmmmmmmm

They advised i gently rub down the rubber tip to remove the face created by it seating in the same place.
I used some green emery sponge - hey presto - no more leaking carbs!

Took the bike for a spin - its shyte. I fitted my old carbs - I couldnt remeber why I stopped using them - now i remeber - there knackered. bike fealt like it was garling etc

oh well back to taking the bike to bits again.
