If it appears to be coming from between the carbs it may the o-rings that seal the fuel transfer tubes. You should be able to reach then while still installed on the bike and see if they feel loose. I wouldn't try to twist them, as this may create a leak you don't already have, but you can try to wiggle them and see if they are still nice and tight.
The parts listed as #1
edit: noticed they have several parts listed as #1
the o-rings at the red arrows.
A stuck float / float valve can let it flood, but it should run out of the overflow nipples on the bottom of the bowls. Unless they are stopped up, of course. But if you can drain fuel from them, then you know thy aren't. Hope this helps.
