Float sunk, or needle valve stuck open.

Wow. This is a fresh set of carbs. I actually put these on because they had better floats than the original set. I guess I'll tear into them this week.

Thanks.

Might be some debris coming from upstream in the fuel system. It doesn't take much to make a needle valve leak forward.
