It could be a stuck float valve or a cracked needle; if the gas is coming out of the nipple. Usually it doesn’t overflow out of the drain. Check for cracks in your bowls. You can try tapping the bowls with a screw driver to release the floats or you might have to take the carburetors back off and polish the inside of the float valve seats, also you might want to check to see if your floats are holding gas. Shake them to see if they are. If you do take them off go ahead and do a good cleaning on them. Just follow the directions on this link. I like to ride it to see if it clears up first. Mine would leak a little after I did my carburetor cleaning, but it stopped after a long ride. Don’t go far from the house if it’s not running right though, and you might want to take it easy until you condition the seals. Just putt around the neighborhood and get some air to her.
