Its either a stuck float or you have your pet-chicken on the prime setting. thats not primary, its prime, to prime the carbs when you drain them dry.

isn't it the tank overfill hose by any chance?
it may look like it's coming from the carbs, because it comes from under the tank and goes between the carbs and then towards the ground
