Some fuel oil spitback into the air silencer is normal.

If you remove the air silencer and place your hand near the front of the carbs one at a time see if there is one spitting more than the others.

It sounds like you might have a reed problem or reed plate gasket issue.

Since the reeds and intake tracts are all separate you will find one that spits alot more than the others if there is a reed problem,
