Sounds like a sticking float. The emissions tubes vent vapors from
the carb into the charcoal canister. If the float sticks, the float chamber
overfills and the fuel pump pushes it out the vent to the canister.

Subject: ZS Carb trouble 74TR6
Listers - I recently had my carbs overhauled only to find that my rear
carb is leaking fuel and traveling out the emissions tube hose, out to
the canister and finally exiting out on the ground from the antirun-on
valve. It's almost streaming out! I checked the diaphram and it's good.
I'm no expert in these things and the mechanic who did the job is 20
miles away. He's more than willing to see what he can do.
Is there something non-technical that I can do to find the problem. The
car still runs, but not well of course. I'm afraid to drive the car to
the garage for fear of a fire! I just got my car out of the body-paint
shop with a $$$$ finished, restored French Blue paint job with a ton of
needed body work. Any advice would be welcomed. It looks like I may
have to have it on a flat-bed tow truck.
