carb overflow....

Pulled a car out of two year storage. Started but fuel was dumping from somewhere. Checked all my lines and connections and tightened where necessary. Narrowed the spillage to the number 4 weber. Took off the aircleaners and noticed that fuel was filling up the throat...literally and running out the top of the carb. After the fuel pump was turned off it was still filling up (at a lesser amount). I am thinking that maybe the valve to that float bowl is stuck open and the 3.5 lb pressure in the line is pumping right into the carb? Why would it not be filling up number 5 also? Thoughts?
