Fan - sounds like you've adapted an electic fan. Are you sure you haven't used something that isn't frawing more amperage than the charging system can handle?
Coolant leaks: For the cost of the o-rings, just replace each and every one of them. Replace the one for the thermostat, and replace the o-rings in each of the tubes that go to each cylinder. I wouldn't mess with silicone. There are a total of 5 o-rings for all of the coolant tubes (counting the one that goes to the pipe coming out of the waterpumo housing). They're all the same size. The size is critical, and you might still have leaks if you use something that is "close enough". Spend the extra $$ and order them from Honda - you'll be glad you did, and that should take care of your coolant leaks - assuming you don't have leaks at the head gasket or around the waterpump housing too.
Fuel leak: As already pointed out, you have a sticking float, or these is some debris under the needle valve in that carb. Sometimes tapping with a rubber mallet will help, too. Worse case scenario is you'll have to pull the carb, remove the bowl, and clean it out a bit, not forgetting to clean the needle valve.
Agreed - tackle each problem one at a time. You'll get it conquered....
