    Thanks,
    yes, the fuel runs from rear carburetor as I could see in Service manual looks like that is air vent hose.
    What do you think , can I do it by my self kind of job or I should put my bike to the Suzuki shop?
    Also if I do that by my self, after cleaning job do I have to synchronize the carburetors?
    Thank you for help.

If you mean that fuel runs out of one of the vent lines, note that one of those lines is for overflow from the carb bowl. If this is what is happening, you might have corrosion or dirt making your float needle stick, and overflow fuel to that carb. It needs to be cleaned out by removing the bowl, float and float needle.

    With a good shop manual, if you are handy with tools, yes!
    You shouldn't have to re-sync, if you note all adjustment screws as to "how far out" they are while removing them. (As in air or fule mixture screws, turn them in while counting, I.E. 1 and 1/4 turn)

    what do you mean by I.E. 1?

Carburator leaks gas when cycle is started or running from what looks like vent hose?

Sounds to me like your float valve is obstructed by some debris. This is causing it to stay open and leak fuel. Better it leaks to your vent hose than it leaks in your engine and contaminates your oil.

You need a proper carb cleaning. Not some run in the gas tank sh*t. If the tank wasn't full when parked, chances are there is rust in the fuel system to get this out you need to disassemble the carburetor and thoroughly clean it.

Try not to ride the bike til you do this. It's a fire hazard.

Will crank and run for a second but stop then gas

Engine is flooding, need to pull the carbs and clean them. Carbs need to be taken apart, the jets removed and cleaned out. The low speed jets, the small ones, have a very small hole in them use a single bristle out of a wire brush to clean it out, do not make the holes any bigger. once you get the jets cleaned out, put em back in, reassemble the carbs, reinstall and have a good ride.

Fuel vent tube is leaking gas. The tube comes out of the bottom of the tank. When I blow air into the tube it doesn't bubble the gas in the tank and it sounds like the air is right there next to the filler...

Very possibly could have a hole, or rusted off of it's perch. Get a mirror and a flash light, and when the gas gets low enough, take a look in the tank.
