The needle /seat are bad (not sealing) or (more likely) the floats are set to high allowing fuel to drip out of the auxilliary venturis on to the throttle plates and then it leaks out of the throttle shaft bores or collects in the the manifold runners.

Lube: Lithium grease or if you can get some Synthetic grease. Bicycle shop.
