Ill try to describe this problem the best I can...
I woke up this morning and smelled gasoline... faint.. but its there.
i kinda liked it anyway so i let it go for abit...
then i went to the garage to ride... and saw a puddle.....gas.

Just above the choke, theres a cotter pin (seems to be like part of the carb) thats where this leak is coming from.
my bro and i took the tank off and disconnected the hoses from the fuel petcock.
seems like a good bit of fuel came out from the carb... drained it... and left it for 1.5 hours to hopefully dry up...

put it back up... tried to crank ... and it it wont turn at all....

theres power .. but engine wont even turn. starter wont seem to do anything either...
just checked the ignition fuse.. its good.

any suggestions or anyone had experienced this?
thanks in advanced
