Freakin flooded again!

Ok guys, (first off are their any ladies out there? If so, my apologies!) I drains all the fuel out after rebuild #2 of the carbs, brand new full tank of fuel. I left it on prime and got called away (completely forgot) for a few hours and come back to at least a half gallon on the cement! Coming out of everywhere! Airbox vent, overflow tubes, handlebars (ok, not really on that one but you get my point). Is it possible that the pressure from that much fuel was able to override the floats or is one/more leaking? I did have a stuck float needle in #3 which was the cause of my rebuild#2. Could it be my float seat o-rings? Vinton 7.65x1.78
