I had this problem last week, on the road. It was a stuck needle valve, stuck due to a ledge worn into it, I believe. I replaced both needles and seats. Be sure to check float level with the new parts, if you go that route. Emergency repair is beat on the float bowls with a screwdriver handle My carbs were BS34 and the gas was pouring out the air jets. Another emergency fix is drain the bowl and let it refill a couple of times, if you can do that. The emergency fixes don't always work.

Your problem may also be a holed float, since you have brass floats.

don't forget about leaky petcocks.

Could also be a stuck float. I had mine leak so bad that they started on fire. Just tear em apart and give them a good cleaning as well as checking float levels.

Even if you have leaky petcocks the floats and needle valve should do their job of shutting off fuel flow to the carbs.

Few taps on the float bowls will hopefully do the trick.
