float is either stuck or not adjusted properly.

 

Ditto. Your going to have to pull the carbs off the bike, and visiually inspect the floats and bowls. My guess is that youll have all that green gunk in there and they need to be cleaned. As far as setting the carbs hold the carb upside down with the bowl off, and the staright part of the float should be parallel with the edge of the carb where the bowl would sit. It might also be a good idea to change the little valve under the float. I've had those go on me too.

I'd take it all appart and give it a good carb cleaner wash down! HOw old are those carbs?? As mentioned, might be that valve.. Rebuild kits are not expensive and easy to install, I'd go with one of those for sure! While bike is running and carbs spitting gas, tap the bowls with the backside of a screwdriver, that usually free's them up!
