So, overnight my carb has decided it's gonna start leaking, not sure where it's coming from. As the carb is soaked. A where can I get a set of gaskets for the carb quick?

Mikuni? Try eBay or typing their name in on google. I think i've seen gasket sets from their online shop.

If they're rubber o ring gaskets you'll need to buy them but if they're just paper gaskets you cn just make em from gasket paper.

Got a lift to work, so when I get home I will try and see where the fault is.

The paper gasket in these carbs only keeps air out. If it is leaking fuel it must be the rubber O ring. It is easy to not get it seated perfectly. I would check that first. Also recheck the float chamber drain screw is in properly.

maybe pinpoint where its leaking from or the round about area some times can be the fuel pipe or even tank / tap as it will trickle down the pipe on to the carb then run all over the place making hard to find where its comeing from ..

is the top of carb getting wet also ? or middle part or even just lower part below loat chamber ? clean and dry of as best you can stand the bike streight even put sheet of paper below to spot where its dripping from then try to locate to point of the leak .
