I started up the bike this evening with the choke mostly on, as I normally do. After a few seconds the RPM never raised over 1k as would normally, which left me boggled, and I proceeded to put the choke to full on, which barely kept it running. Any letting off the choke would almost kill it. I quickly noticed fluid(which smelled like gas) bubbling out of the exhaust ports and leaking down the pipes and onto the ground. Then it was dripping out of the overflow tube coming from between the two right Carbs. I turned it off and pulled off the tank and ensured that the tank wasn't leaking at all and that it was just from where it seemed, which was the case.
The bike is a 96 600F. Recently cleaned the carbs about a week and a half ago.
What could this be? Are the floats stuck(They're not even adjustable on this model though right?)? Was I just flooding the carbs with the choke? Is it something worse?
Also, do my exhaust ports where the pipes connect need to be tightened down(they all seem to be pretty loose where the large ring plates bolt them down to the engine)?
Since it was leaking fuel out like that, I don't want to start it back up till I have someone come and look at it.
