well if its water coming out the carbs then there is water in the tank. petrol is lighter that water so sits on the top.

drain tank and carbs then refill with fresh petrol.

Could the float be sticking?

if its been sitting for a while it might be a sticky float valve needle.

try giving the bowl part of the carbs a tap with the handle of a screwdriver when the bike is running.
