From past experience this is usually from sticking needle and seat or float in the carby, often pulling carby apart and thoroughly clean and setting float levels will solve it.

I'm not sure about on these carbs but is there a screw on the bottom that you can let fuel out of the breather with, it would be near where the hose joins on. Sometimes if you just screw that out, let some fuel flow out and then screw it up again it can flush anything that might be stuck in there out. Otherwise like Oldrodder said, pull it apart and clean it all out.

grab a decent sized spanner or screw driver and give the offending carb a tap. quite often a grain of dirt or something will stick in the needle and seat and not let it shut off properly, tapping it will dislodge the dirt and off you go. happens all the time with my keihins.

yep this has happened heaps of the times to my Shee's aswell, it can also happen when you leave the fuel tap turned off and the fuel in the carbys evapourate and the flaot sticks, so the next time you turn the fuel on the float is stuck down and it will just keep filling the float bowl with fuel, just give the bowl a tap but if that doesnt work just undo the 4 small screws and take the bowl off and see if the needle is stuck open.
