Make sure your petcock is not set to the PRI position. It needs to be set to RUN.
If it was left in PRI, for example, it would fill the air box, flood the carb, seep into the engine, leak past the rings and start filling the crankcase with gas. All of these scenarios are bad things.
If your petcock is not in the PRI position, it's still possible that something is clogged or stuck in the carb as a result of being loosened up by the seafoam (like the float, for example) which would result in a similar scenario.
And, for the record, your mechanic is a bone head. All carbs everywhere benefit from staying clean. Seafoam, or Berryman's, or MMO do that and maintain a nice happy environment in the carb. Without a happy carb, there are no happy bikes.
