Carbs

OK I cleaned all four of the carbs and now I have fuel coming out off the exhaust and number 1 and maybe number 2 carb. What did I do wrong? I tapped on the number 1 and 2 also with a rubber mallet to make sure the float isnt sticking. I need serious help because I'm sick of working on this thing.

Were they having problems before you cleaned them? What did you clean them with? Did you clean your fuel inlet valves or maybe damage them?

found that when i cleaned mine, and they leaked, that i had to replace the inlet valves. the o rings may look fine,but may be old.replacing all 4 sealed her right up.

It sat there for about a year. I was barly able to get it to run because the carbs were so gooped up. i took them apart and just put them in carb cleaner. i took my time putting it back together. im not sure how the floats could have got stuck, if that is the issue.
