The only way to know where the fuel is coming from is to look for it.

Did you hook the gas line back into the carbs properly?

If the gas is coming from the vent tubes on one or more of the carbs, then the floats are not set correctly, or the needle is not on the float correctly. What will happen is the gas will just keep pouring into the carbs and it has no where to go. The vent lines for the float bowls become the only way for the gas to escape, so it will pour out those lines.

Also, make sure you don't have the float bowl drain lines still open if you opened them.
