If they are leaking like that, the floats are either stuck, not adjusted properly, or the seats are too full of crud to make a seal.
You will need to remove the carbs and pull the bowls off. Pull the floats off and clean the seats so they are smooth. Make sure the needle is clean and smooth and not worn. Put the floats back on and set to the proper height for you model of carb. When doing this, hold the carbs at an angle so that the needle is closed but the little pin in the needle is NOT pushed in. measure from the side of the carb where the seal on the bowl would sit.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!
