Default weber carbs over flowing!!!

I could not believe my eyes!! I turned on the key and like always the fuel pump comes on and I listened for the floats to come up when all the sudden gas started overflowing from the vertical air tube or what ever it is. The vertical tube is metal about 2.5 inches long and there are two on each triple bank carb (40 IDA 3C). To my knowledge they are air valves that let in air. These two vert. tubes sit on the top of the carbs and have never overflowed with gas. In order from the furthest Velcity stack it goes: Carb 6 - Vert Air tube - Carb 5- Vert. air tube- Carb 4. Something must be clogged in the carb to have gas forced out the top like this. After turning of ignition I waited a few minutes and tried it again. Same thing happened. about ten minutes later i cycled the throttle and the sound of gas flushed down into the cylinder. What do I do? Anyone have a set of weber IDA 40 3C that this has happened to?
Thanks
