If the leak is from the tank, check the gas line from the fuel petcock. If it turns out to be from the left carb, drain the bowl, it should free the float.
Mine was stored..it would turn over a little then stall. I threw the bike down hard in frustration..when I picked it up everything worked fine..
SOURCE: I have a Vstar 650 and it has been stored for
The fuel petcock (on/off tap) has a rubber pad that the metal plate rests on against underside of tank. This has more than likely perished and become hard and brittle. Drain remaining fuel (if any) and remove the fuel hose and remove petcock retaining bolts. Carefully remove petcock as two fuel tube filters extend into tank. Replace the rubber pad with a new one. Might be a good idea to thoroughly check for cracking on all rubber components on the bike, especially fuel hose and brake fluid lines. Cheers.
