Sounds to me like it could be a stuck float. You could try tapping on the float bowls on the carbs with the handle of a screwdriver and it might seat the needle. Or you could try running the engine with the fuel shut off until it stalls then turn the fuel back on and start it back up . This may dislodge any dirt that might be holding the needle off the seat. A word of caution though ,you probably don't want to try that one if fuel is dripping onto any hot parts of the engine. I hope this helps.

I had the same problem this year. Turned out to be the jets and seats. Had them replaced, extremely expensive $700 parts and labor. if you're good w/tools and carbs you will save ~$500. the parts alone are $50 per carb. My service manager says it's do to the MbTE fuel additives. Not sure if that's true. Good luck, hope it's just a stuck float.
