No, but that is because I took it off of CL until it is 100% ride-able again.
Update:
I re-installed the carbs yesterday as well as enough of the overall assembly to start and run the bike. I filled the fuel tank to about 3/4 full, set it on reserve, and after a little bit of trying (I'm assuming because the carbs were dry) the bike fired right up. I let it sit and run for about five minutes and I no longer APPEAR to have a fuel leak. I capitalize the word "appear" because I am very reluctant to say anything is "fixed" on this bike as it seems to take that as a challenge. I am going to replace the fuel line from the tank petcock to the auto petcock as it appears fatigued and the last thing I need is another leaking part. I ordered it from CCP this morning so hopefully I'll be on the road again this week some time.
On a side note...I was so nervous putting fuel to the carbs for the first time that my hands were literally shaking. I think it was the fear of what I may do to the bike if it began to leak again.
