Air Box

Hi,
Is it normal to have petrol in the air box and a bit in the air filter?? or does it mean there is problem with the carb?

Greasy feul residue will form in the intake manifolds before the carbs but I have not ever had feul in the actual Airbox.
Make sure it is not oil that could get there from the engine when the two white plastick extentions sitting in the carb intake manifold has been reversed. They have to piont with the open end toward the carbs and not the airbox.
