Brad,
I agree with everyone to start by looking for a leak.
From the top of the engine, look into the valley and see if there is any standing fluid.
If you see some, dip your finger in and give it a smell. Check your fuel bowl. Theres a lever on there that if opened, will completely dump out the fuel bowl. Make sure it's closed al the way.
Inspect the outside of the fuel bowl before messing with the lever. maybe you'll find something there.
If so, Clay at Riffraff sells fuel bowl repair kits. Basically a bunch of O-rings to replace the ones that could have gone bad. I've done it before. Not too involved.
