You didn't say where the fuel was coming from exactly. So I'm going to assume here. If thats all you did was twist the carbs around and they started leaking it's most likely the inter connecting fuel tubes. There are three tubes that run between the carbs for fuel supply. These tubes have O-rings on each end to seal. Most likely one or several seals are not sealing now. Just follow your fuel line from the tank and you'll see them. You MIGHT be able to spray a lubricant like WD40 in to the carb holes where the tubes go and then take needle nose pliers and try to rotate them back and forth a little. This MAY get them to seal. If they do, go out a buy a lottery ticket. It's your lucky day! Other wise you will have to remove them and put new O-rings on. You should be able to match the O-rings from an auto parts store or hardware store. Put a little,very little, grease on the new ones to aid in sliding the tubes back in. Good luck and no smoking while doing this!!
