A screw for the overflow might be loose. Theres a screw near each black tube. Check that.

I would have to say that your float valves are leaking. If it was the drain screws being loose the fuel wouldn't be coming out of the overflow tube but the drain at the bottom of the carb. This often is caused by dirt or rust in the float bowl. Take a screwdriver handle and rap the sides of the offending carbs a few times and see if that seats the needle and stops the gas flow. If it does I would then drain the float bowl and see what comes out with the gas. If there is any sediment then I would then change the fuel filter and run some Sea Foam through the system to clean up the carbs some. If rapping on the carbs doesn't stop the problem then the carbs must be disassembled and see if the needle and valve are bad or if the float has sunk and is not cutting off the flow of gas as it is supposed to do.

Also, drain the gas tank at the petcock. Nobody ever burns the last gallon of gas, who knows whats in the bottom of your tank.

 

Drain all 4 carb bowls, drain the tank, and run the sea foam. Give it a few days to work its magic.

 

Deffinatly a sticking float valve.

 

Also, put some HEET in the, gas to get water out of the fuel system.
