Fuel Hemmorage Part 3 nearly wadded the bike

[jphillips]

Wow, I nearly wadded the bike! Help!
I put the fuel cutoff switch below my petcock and that did the trick. Thanks guys! After riding and setting I pulled the plugs and rolled it over and no gas flooded cylinders. Figured all was good and no trickle out of the vaccum lines.
Checked again this morning, pulled all plugs, rotated the cylinders and perfect, ran smooth as a clock without the chocke at all and perfect throttle, went out for a ride...
Coming back into the neighborhood slowing down (downshifted) then a gush of fuel came out on top of the engine, covering my feet and then my back tire. I slid it peg to peg across both lanes for 20 feet fishtailing and saved it. I rode dirt bikes and knew not to dig into the brakes, honestly I have no idea how I survived other than I was determined not to ruin my hard work or let my wife see a trashed bike at the front of the neighborhood!
If I had not been cautious, feeling it out or in any other area.... super scary
Go it to a stop and cut off the fuel, it was smoking on the pipes so i rolled it down the street to get out of the gas and let it cool. Lucky I was at the top of a big hill and after letting it roll down to air off all of the gas and without cutting the fuel back on gingerly roll started it to get up our huge hill (VA) just made it then pushed as I was scared to cut the gas back on then let it roll down the next hill to my house with fuel cut off and cleaned it up. Went back to the scene and luckily the gas had evaporated, we have tons of guys that ride bikes and the last thing I want is a fellow biker going down because of me.
Any ideas why so much gas is coming out of what seems to be the top of the carbs? It looked like it could of came out of the top of the air box?
Could that be possible? Ideas?
Church tomorrow for me!
