I don't think that is the problem since the idle mixture screw is after the floats. I think there could still be something interfering with the floats operation. It's hard to say without seeing.

I'm having this problem when the bike is turned off it's leaking through a hole that's jus above the butterfly flap. You can see it when carbs on bike looking down into them. And it sounds like pressure is causing this!!! what is it? I jus had carbs off doing a deep clean!!! Please help I have a thred in general tech but no one has replaied to it yet!!! It would help me a GREAT DEAL!!!

same here, having the same issue.
The jets are all new, and new float valves as well.
Floats are original;, but are not leaking.
Starts fouling plug 1, then gradually does all of them.
My floats look higher than 13.7mm for sure, but I'm not young so could be my eyes lol.
Just blew air through all circuits of the carbs. Slides work properly as pressure is applied.
Nothing seams to be blocked.
Fuel filter is new, as is air filter.
Just waiting on some new O rings and seals to see if there was any issues there.
The bike is 22 years old, so its gonna have issues.
I bought mine as a running project, and now I've brought everything up too good level, the carbs prove to be the last hurdle......sigh

Default Lovely carb tuning

Yea your float valves are stuck open and it’s causing gas to flood and spill out the air inlets. Try Tapping LIGHTLY with hammer might unfreeze them. If not gonna have to pull carbs and the float bowl to see if it’s locked up or jus need to be cleaned a little more

Make sure your o-rings on the fuel T's between the carbs aren't leaking either. Here's what mine was like.

Yes it is and a really common thing to happen. Usually starts to leak when you remove the carbs from the bike and start bumping the fuel lines. The O rings are hard as rocks and start to leak as soon as they are moved.
