    the reason you only dribble on reserve is the fuel level is low and the upper feed is not exposed to gas, you have 2 petcocks is only one leaking? i'm assuming that is the case, yes an inlineshut off will work, or just cap of the offending unit and splice the single petcock to feed both banks of carb, with a y or t fitting.

    you can take it apart and clean it up abit that may do the trick, would not hurt to take the carbs out and inspect the tiny parts and clean

      I have the carb bank out waiting to get intakes.Just not sure if i want to mess with the carbs or take them some where.I only put a gallon and half of gas in the tank i moved it around on the reserve and on position.Yes only the right side leaked.

          since you have it apart and awaiting parts, i'd say look at the right side and under forum scroll down to carburaters, under maintenance, repair and mods and read read read, you will find all you need to cleanem up
