scratch that, still leaking, to the point where i have a few small spots of gas on the ground after leaving the bike sitting overnight (also lots of gas smell). now have gas dripping from the petcock and the bottom of the carburetor and the hose running between them. the clamps that were put on (note there wasn't one placed on the hose where it meets the carb) don't seem to have done anything, suggesting that wasn't the problem. but based on the pictures, it sure seems like i have more than one place gas is leaking from.
given that it also needs new tires, i am seriously about to quit on this bike after all of 500 miles.
