    I bought this motorcycle and it wasn’t running, now i fixed it and it starts but it doesn't work at idle speed without pressing the accelerator, and the engine stalls right after i release jt. And this hose leaks gasoline every time I accelerate

    The motorcycle hasn't been started for over a year and it's been standing all that time. It's had gas since that time too.

    I would suggest pulling the carbs and giving them a good clean first. Keep it simple and small steps. Flooding also causes all sorts of problems. And get new fuel. Check the tank inside for rust.

    Agree with all of the above. The tube you are holding is the carb bowls vent. Your carbs are dirty/clogged from sitting with fuel and need servicing. REAL servicing, not fuel system cleaner added to fresh gas.

    You need to check your oil for gas as well.

    Exactly. Carbs that overflow as you describe will often pour it down the intake tract, into the cylinders and into the oil.

    as capt 80s said, oil dilution with gas can kill an engine, so check dipstick or oil window, and change oil if theres any doubt.
