1965 Yamaha YJ2 gas leak	Quote \| Reply

Hi all,
my name is tommy and I just bought a 1965 Yamaha YJ2 and am really excited to do some riding on it but I realized after riding it a litte, it is leaking gas out of somewhere. I know that it isnt the tank fuel filter, it is somewhere under the engine. Anyone have any ideas? I'm new to the motorcycle world.
Thanks for all your time,
tommy

Thanks for the pictures. Check the carburator's seals. Also, touch the liquid, smell it and make sure that is gas and not some other liquid. Does it run ok besides the leaking?
