Installed jets on 96 883 and now leaks gas

The bowl is overfilling, the float valve is not seating properly or the float is mal-adjusted (possibly knocked when you changed the jets)
Guarantee your oil is now contaminated with gas ...ask me how I know.
EDIT: okay, I just re-read your post and it makes no sense... are you talking about the accelerator pump? (rubber slinky thing???) or the jet needle?

Sorry I didnt get pictures yet, however I finally found the same problem with someone elses sportster. Its the accelerator push rod boot thats leaking gas. It appears that everyone suggests replacing the pump seals. I just can't understand how it was fine before jetting and now it leaks. Now maybe I did do something wrong, I did spray a little carb cleaner into where the rod goes. Its supposed to be o ring safe, is it possible that carb cleaner ruined the pump seal?

Whatever the problem, you disturbed something when changing jets. Carefully dismantle, as you did last time, and check everything else you touched. If you find any damaged parts, like the float needle or accelerator pump plunger, get a carb rebuild kit, strip, clean and rebuild.
