leaking 1979 mikuni carb
There is a small hole on the left hand side of my 1979 mikuni kitty cat carb (from the driver's perspective) which is leaking fuel. What is that hole for, should there be something in it to stop the leak, and what can I do to stop the leak?

I don't have a carb in front of me to look at but I hope you are not missing the idle air bleed screw.
Go to this site and look at the diagram:

It may be a vent hole for the float bowl (I thought this carb was vented through the venturi but I may be thinking of a different carb. That happens when you do about 20 different carb a year.)
The issue is probably that the float is stuck and its over filling the bowl. A good cleaning will fix this problem.
PS copy the whole link in your bowser, for some reason this site won't take the ().

gas leak
Hey Doug -you might want to recheck the float level on the carb - I've had the float stick & won't close the needle..& then it's a smelly mess.
clean the carb, remove the bowl, & double check the needle the floats on the "float " itself.
it a pretty easy fix - just messy.
Good luck,
Jim
