My first thought is that the dealer didn't do a proper job on the carburetors when they cleaned them (gee, imagine that ) and you've got a stuck float. I'd take them back to have them check it out. It's not difficult to take the bowls off to see if the floats stuck, but then you risk them saying you did it.

Also do a quick check that they closed the float bowl drain screws

Hmm... I'm with IDoDirt then. Take the carbs back to the dealer and ask "WTF?". Sounds like something is blocked in the carbs and the gas is following the path of least resistance, back through the air intake system
