HIF4 fills with fuel

I live in Denmark and have just bought a 69 MGB roadster (out of 
California) which has been sitting for a couple of years..

the engine turns fine but when the key is turned on the fuel pump 
doesn't do the normal click-click-click up to full pressure and 
then stop..

instead it just keeps pumping/clicking..

taking off the air cleaner on the HIF4s, you can look through the 
air intake opening and see fuel building up inside carb throat..

i can't quite figure out how the fuel lines should run; now there 
is a single line from the fuel pump that feeds into the left side 
of the left carb, and then there is this long (maybe 18 inches 
long) looping line that runs from the left side of the left carb to 
the right side of the right carb..

and, there is a short line running between the two carbs, from the 
right side of the left carb to the left side of the right carb..

but there is no overflow or return to the fuel pump or tank 
line--is that the way it is supposed to be?--or, what might be 
wrong to allow the carb to fill up with fuel?

thanks for your help..

Lasse
