carb cleaner will also soften and stretch the O rings. leave it a day or so, the gas might reform the o rings

That fuel tube should have an o-ring to seal it in each carburetor. Carb cleaner and scrubbing/moving the carburetors may have cracked these o-rings, allowing fuel to leak.

However after reinstalling I turned the fuel back on and fuel leaked out of between the two carbs. While the fuel was on I looked and the fuel was coming from two little spigots (?) on the inside of both carbs. The spigots are about ¼” long and maybe 1/8” in diameter. I don’t know what I did wrong, is something stuck?
