O-rings removed and carbs installed again. Bike runs but after a start and quick stationary checked in the intakes of my carbs and there is fuel sitting under my filter. (only at front filter/rear cylinder)
I am assuming that is not good.
Or should I not check until synced and all

Or is this just the result for being on the kick stand and leaning towards that carb/filter?
Oct-15
It's normal for a little fuel to collect there. Synch the carbs and go for a ride.

Thank you for that answer. Was afraid something was wrong with the floats or something. When is the amount too much? I had never checked the elbows for fuel before so for me fuel in the inlet seemed like a problem

Mine do it on number 1 cylinder , it dont cause me a problem but im tempted to put a compression tester on it just to make sure the inlet valve is seating correctly

Yes, for me also it is the number 1 cylinder. I figured it might be due to the lean angle on the stand but will investigate some more.
Ordered a 1L fuel tank so I don't have to constantly install/remove gastank for testing.
I swapped out the float needle and O-ring just in case and will keep everyone posted once I figured it out
