Fuel spilling out of motor

[boomtank]

So I go to start the bike and it just doesn't sound right. I give it a bit of choke and roll the throttle. It has been sitting for about a week. It spits and sputters a few times, typical for it sitting, then fires up but rough. A few seconds latter fuel is spewing all over.
After looking around it seems to be coming out of the overflow from the charcoal box. Also the oil is foaming with the smell of fuel.
First time this has ever happened to me. I think I seen a post about this, but couldn't find it. I'm hoping that a carb rebuild, petcock, and oil change works. Any help here guys?

most likely a leaking float needle or float bowl gasket. sometimes a bowl gasket will swell up with exposure to fuel and...........fix itself !

could also be a bad O-ring on the fuel "Y" tube.

check your oil level cuz if fuel got into the crankcase, you'll need to change the oil after fixin the dripping problem.
