Minor problem this morning when getting ready to ride for first time this season. (Finally rid of the snow bank blocking me in -yeah, I know I'm lame for letting that stop me, no excuse, should have gotten the ice pick out sooner :-D .)

Bike hasn't been started in six weeks. Was stored with full tank of gas and fuel stabilizer added.
Turned the fuel petcock to "on" and gas started pouring out of the carbs' overflow hose -and also a small amount out of the right carb's pod air filter.
I'm thinking it's a stuck float, but I'm not too familiar with these vaccuum operated carbs. :???: Could it be something else?
