Leaking Carburetors

[utey]

Petrol is pouring out of the carburetors, somewhere under the float chamber  I think.
Seems ok when running and on tick over but when motor turned off just keeps dripping.
Any ideas.
Thanks

dry and shrunken gaskets or even as simple as stuck open needle and seats,

I had the same problem on my carby's, turned out to be the little copper ring seals on the jet inspection plugs at the bottom of the float chambers, they had been overtightened at some stage and cracked the copper ring, allowing fuel to seep out overnight
