I read the other active thread on a leaking solex. I'm going to add the other washer in my rebuild kit to lower the float height. That may be an issue or a combination of that and the accelerator pump.

I quickly shut it off because I noticed some fuel pooling under the bike. It was leaking at the joint between the left side manifold and muffler. I pulled the oil cap and didn't smell fuel in the oil. I'm wondering if all the pumping prior today filled the manifold with raw gas and it ran into the left side exhaust manifold because it leans to that side on the side stand?
EDIT: I pulled the spark plugs and turned the bike over. No fuel sprayed out of the head. It does drip out of the manifold still. I may let it sit outside in the sun for a while to try to evaporate what's in there.
Also, could the accelerator pump be a culprit? I believe that pumps raw fuel straight down the carb into the manifold. Maybe it's adjusted to high (if it's adjustable that is).

Where is this setting at also?
If it isn't in the middle, try it there. If it is in the middle, move it to one extreme and then the other to see if there is a change, but the accel pump should only be pumping fuel in with a twist of the throttle.
