Help please carbs chucking out fuel through front fairing (PROBLEM SORTED THANKS)

Hi chaps mate of mine bought what he thought was a bargain 2001 zx6r (been parked up for 4 years) i know this was him stretching a bit on what he could afford so offered to help him out and get it running free /service calipers etc--anyhow cleaned carbs to best of my ability fresh fuel --fired up ran loveley then discovered fuel pouring out of nose fairing--i traced this hose back to twin pipes on front of carb not sure if they vac or vent-removed the trumpets off the carbs to discover next to the removable jet to the right of it theres a hole brass lined this is the source of the excess fuel even after bike turned off leaks for a while both n/s carbs do this the o/s two do not if anyone can make sense of what im trying to convey would love to hear from you thanks Stu

stuck float valve because when you did the carbs you did not remove the needle and seat and clear the gelled fuel from there.
