Went for a ride yesterday and noticed that the rear of the bike felt a little wonky. Once I got back I out the bike on the center stand and proceeded to spin the back tire with the engine off. I noticed that the tire didn't rotate uniformly and would wobble back and forth( maybe slightly up and down?) Everything seems tight and the wheel won't give if I try to push side to side. So, with that being said, everything I've searched has pointed to:
1. A warped rear sprocket
2. A bent axle
3. Improperly seated bead
4. Possible wheel bearing
Not exactly sure where to start with this diagnosis, any help is greatly appreciated. The wheels are the original cast and I cannot completely determine if the wobble is at the rim too or solely at the tire.
As an added bonus, when I went into the garage today I noticed a strong gas smell and a puddle on the floor under the center stand. Closer inspection revealed fuel dripping from the clamp between carb and air filter. Stuck float? Should I drain the bowl and clean the carbs?
I'm new to tinkering on these things and don't have the most experience but am more than willing to try, just looking for some guidance in the right direction!
