Leaking Carb?

Most likely just a gasket problem. I can't tell if it's leaking from the accelerator pump or the base gasket. It looks like the base gasket, but you may need an accelerator pump o-ring too.

well its on the side cant tell where it coming from but when that accelerator pump goes bad it will leak up threw where that black boot is on the side and come out when you turn the throttle.
remove the float bowl last...... start by just turning the throttle to open and see is its coming out that black boot if it is its the accelerator pump diaphragm is bad if not them its the float bowl btw make sure you have the fuel turned on to refill the float bowl

So my bike went to the dealer. I told them the thing is leaking fuel. They did something..... one year later it's leaking worse than it was before. I had been on the fence about just buying an S&S carb for the scoot. If I redo the carb I am going to do it myself. Soooo.... with that being said.... rebuild or replace? Opinions?

Just from looking at your photos, I would think that either your accelerator pump diaphragm is seeping or the bowl gasket is compromised from corrosion.
Don't muck around trying to "fix" this kind of minor issue, just get an OEM carb rebuild kit for your bike and spend a couple of loving hours cleaning and reassembling your carb with the new parts...and learn from the experience.
Or pay someone $150/hour to do it for you.
