Air filter smells like fuel

[Rozbabbo750c]

Afternoon, so I took your advise and swapped out my k&n air filter with a stock paper filter and in doing so the k&n reeks of fuel.

I ended up pulling the carbs and noted that the intake boots had a little moisture in them. Air box "appears" dry.

I plan on doing a "basic" carb rebuild anyways but is fuel in the intake side a sign of a leak or is that normal? I cant say how much fuel is leaking but it only takes a drop to make something smell like it.

Feedback is appreciated

Hard to say. A small amount may always be there but very strong no.
