Bike sat, cleared carbs, leaking gas from exhaust

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've been on here - we moved to Florida, started a business, and had a baby!

While my wife was pregnant last year I ended up letting my bike sit for too long without riding. It ran fine and I never had any issues. It's a 2012 250R.

I went to ride it a few months ago, and it started and would idle but died with any throttle. Reading around it seemed like I clogged my carbs by letting it sit too long without fuel stabilizer.

I finally had some time this week to work on it.

I opened up the carbs and poked a paperclip through the hole and cleaned the needles and top part with carb cleaner.

Put it all back together, and it fired up and idled but died with throttle again.

Now it's leaking gasoline from the exhaust, and I don't know where to go from here.
