pissy carbs

Hello all, wondering if any of you fellow fcr users can throw some light on a problem ive got with mine.

Had the fcr41's setup on a dyno a few weeks ago and had been using the bike on the road for a few weeks and all was sweeeet!
However on returning from my honeymoon and firing the bike up, it started but was running really rough and then i noticed alarming amounts of fuel pissing out of the vent pipe????
The bike has been on a paddock stand for the time ive been away and only started the bike with the usual 2 twists of the throttle to prime the carbs so dont think ive flooded it, seems like something is stuck open but being brand new carbs i hope not. Would be grateful to hear any tips or if this happened to someone else.


Cheers.
