There is another reason why fuel could pour out of the back of your carbs. If the vent hole in your gas tank cap is plugged then your gas tank will be air locked and starve your carbs for fuel. If your floats are very low because of this then they can get stuck down so that when fuel does finally get through they are stuck open and let the fuel pour through. This happened to me on my 1980 special a couple of times before I figured it out.
