Default Having major flooding issues

Flooding so bad that I am getting fuel into the air box and in the vacuum system. As well as in the crankcase breather. Looking for suggestions or is it as I suspect and just a float problem?

How good is the snap back on your throttle. If you have a good solid snap back try using it to shock the carbs if you get my meaning. Not likely but worth a try.
If you can get to the bowls, just give them each a good tap.You could turn your fuel off and use the drain screws on the bowls to drop the fuel and try doing it dry if it doesn’t work at first.
If no success with that, then it’s strip tank off time and time to get whiffy.
Best of luck mate

Unfortunately it’s more of an issue than that I actually had to pull the tank on the side of the road so I could rap a socket wrench against them to try and knock the floats loose.
