Ok, so my bike has been sitting for a couple years, went to get it running again, and naturally wouldn't start.  So I drained the fuel, and bought a new battery.  Next thing I was able to get was choke out full throttle it would start, rev up, and then peter out and die.  So I figured the carbs needed a cood cleaning, took them out cleaned them, blew them out.  Re installed, fired her up, she ran sickly for a few seconds, then died.  Tried a bunch more times, couldn't get it to start.  So now I figured I flooded it.  When to loosen the drain bolt on the 2nd carb from the left, and all hell broke loose!  I have gas pouring out everywhere!  What did I do?  I'm beyond my comfort level any help is appreciated.  Thanks......
