Are you talking about the bowl vent line, which connects to the carbs well above the intake tract?
That is the hose I was talking about. Fuel was also running out of the air filter.

Turns out the needle was stuck. Maybe my last fill-up was contaminated...maybe condensation... :???: but whatever the cause, water in the fuel corroded the springs and needles.

I change the oil every spring when I take the bike out of storage. So, fresh oil, fresh gas, new needles and springs...just waiting for temps to go above 45 and the rain to stop.
