so...good news and bad. got the remaining fuel lines in the mail. got them installed and gave the old girl a try. rear carb was spewing gas out of the overflow tube. I shut it down and had to put it away before I could do much troubleshooting. Likely it's a stuck float, so next step will be to beat on the carb a few times to see if I can free it up. if that doesn't work, I'll need to remove the carb and inspect in the float bowl. if no luck there, I'll ship it back to the guy that rebuilt them and ask him to take a deeper look.
More to come!
