I took the carb off and sprayed carb cleaner in it and now its leaking gas out of each carb, I thought it was a crossover fuel pipe missing but the carbs on my cx650 have the same 2 pieces that arnt connected together. Is there supossed to be something there connecting the 2? if it was a crossover piece it would be leaking gas only out of one carb. I dont know.

here is whats leaking on both carbs

Tapped the carb with a rubber hammer and it fixed it, read it on another thread where some guy had the same issue.

I found out why my bike was running crappy, it had a stuck float, put some ATF where the needle was and moved it back and forth like 20 times and it runs good but still not top notch, probably needs a full rebuild on the carbs, any one know where a good place is to get a complete kit?

+1 on the rebuild and full cleaning, it will work wonders. As for a rebuild kitm I'd shop around on ebay, www.motorcyclesuperstore.com, and www.hondaparts-direct.com to start with.  When you get a chance check out the Pine Sol carb cleaning thread.
