Rather than look down the carburetor throat right after a hot shut down - go back about 10 minutes later and look down the carb venture, particularly the primary ones. It may be the heat soak after shut off that starts fuel flowing through the accelerator pump or idle circuits. At least that is how mine behaves (and stinks). Gaz64 has recommended a modification on the accelerator pump umbrella seal but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
