I let my TW sit for a few months and the battery and carb needed help. I took the bike to a shop here in Austin. They said they rebuilt the carb and replaced the battery. The fuel tank had some rust in it so I cleaned and removed the rust. Once I got the bike home and rode it for a few minutes around the neighborhood it seemed fine. I went to ride it the next day and it was running rough. After I let it idle for awhile I noticed fuel dripping from the tube under the carb bowl and fuel was leaking out of the air filter. Any ideas on this?
Also…. is there a company that sells a brand new OEM carb? Not interested in a Chinese knockoff

Personally I think that ALL of the TW carbs are junk, OEM or not. Get a Nibbi or OKO or Mikuni slide type, change the throttle to a single pull and be done with it. I put the Nibbi PE 28mm on mine and love it.

I'm doing that now with a Nibbi PE28 but struggling to find a throttle and cable to work with it. Any links or advice?

This is the throttle I used (NOT the cable) but any single pull will work. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZI7SQR4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 As far as the cable I had a local shop make one for me ($30). When you measure remember the measurement is the length of the cover not the whole cable. There are also kits you can get to make one.

You could continue to use the throttle you have and just use the 'pull' side and leave the other one empty. (looks funny but will work)

I did look into using the original with one cable, but the end that operates the slide is much too large to fit through the carb cap.
What was the issue with the cable in your throttle kit? Why wouldn't it work?

Too short

You can use the OEM throttle you just have to change the cable. They even make 'ends' where you could just cut the end off the OEM cable and soldier a smaller 'button' type on it. All depends on how much you want to do. I was lazy on the cable and just had one made.

Lead bullets are now banned as well for hunting of any sort and from sale within the state and you can't just drive to Nevada and buy it either. Did I mention you have to have an FBI background check every time you buy ammo? EVERY STINKIN' TIME! No, it's not free either. Yes, there's a volume limit of how much ammo you can buy.
While the right to own a gun may be protected by the constitution, it says nothing about the ammo used in said gun. Or the right to do your own reloads. We are, amazingly, still legal to fling our own feces at each other. Ha!

Ya know 40 grains of BP behind a 240 grain bullet travels at about 1100 fps. .45 Colt. 😉
