Yo butterfly, I had this problem on one of my nc30's. The easist and cheapest thing to do is just bung a small plastic inline tap between the fuel tap and the carbs, and turn it off after you stop riding. You can get suitable ones for lawnmowers etc for about a dollar.

To fix the leak properly you'll need a new fuel tap, Honda only sells the complete assembly and it's very pricey!


If your carb float needles don't seal properly there's a very real risk that petorl will fill your cylinder, bending the internals when you crank it over. It happens!
