Need Help with Carbs - Leaking Gas Everywhere

Hi Guys,

I've been reading posts on this forum like a creep for a year now, but I finally made an account today because I need some help.

I bought my bike (1991 cbr600F2) September 2011 and stored it for the winter. I tried to start it up today to make sure everything was good before I went and got plates. As soon as I turned on the gas, it just started leaking everywhere. I took off the gas tank to take a look and it seems the t-joint that supplies fuel to carbs 3 and 4 is leaking. There is also fuel coming out of the carb overflow pipes. I couldn't get a good view, but the t-joint at carbs 1 and 2 could potentially be leaking as well.

http://www.fireblades.org/forums/honda-fireblade/88886-fuel-leak.html that seems to be the same problem as me. Basically, I am pretty new to all this, and I do not have a Clymer manual yet. I have a few questions.

1) Am i right in thinking I just need new O-rings?
2) Assuming I only need new o-rings, how much is this going to cost? And what if I need other work as well?
3) Do you guys know a good shop to take my bike near Hamilton? I don't really have enough time and expertise to do the job myself.

Thanks,
 
i had a similar problem with my gpz 750 , 1984. the floats were sticking a good cleaning solved the problem. check the t joint and supply lines for cracks
