So the bike is a 96 ex250 that i recently bought. got everything running great. the only problem im encountering is getting the idle set(always a pain) and the carbs are leaking gas. its leaking gas from all over after ive ridden it and let it sit running for awhile. im thinking that maybe there is a stuck float or something in the carb that isnt closing. its only on one of the carbs. it was leaking from where the airbox connencts to the carbs. any ideas? i just put a bunch of B12 chemtool carb cleaner in there and hopefully that will clean it up a little more but if not.....any ideas?

I would guess that you do have a sticking float. Tap on the float bowl and it should seat. If it wont, you will have to remove the float bowl and inspect.
