Sometimes when i start my Valkyrie i have gas leaking out of fuel hose where it connects to the fuel valve and sometimes it will not leak. It only leaks when it is runnig.

May not be tight enough on the nipple. Try using a screw type hose clamp instaed of the cheap one that was on it from factory. Unless you are already using that type. Could also be a hole in the hose or petcock needs rebuilt Iif still using oem.

are you sure its coming from the hose and not that little weep hole at the bottom of the valve.........that means rebuild time or just get a good fuel valve
