Three things that usually cause leaks :
1. Float Valve O-Ring, Replace them, don't go wasting money on rebuild kits just buy the O-Rings( Replace the Main jet O- Ring as the same time)
2. Fuel Line O-rings between the carbs Replace them requires separation of the carb bodies
3. Flattened Float Gasket/Seal, replace them and use plain grease when refitting, seals and excess washes off with petrol. Suzuki ones can be half the price of Yamaha ones. All the Mikuni BSR Carbs use the same
A word of advice Do not use use silicon sealers or gasket makers anywhere near a carburetor.
What did you do/replace in the rebuild?
