I presume you have petrol in the crankcases, there's only one way in ,out of the tank, through the carbs, past the float valve, into the cylinders and down to the crankcase. I've just had the same but mine didn't go past the piston rings, was lucky to get away without damage when the engine locked. I'm now checking float bowl levels regularly and making sure no petrol gets through when switched off.
