from reading your post I can't tell if all the carbs are overflowing, or those on one side, or just one.
In any case it does sound like an overpressure and/or no sealing at the needle valve situation.
By the way, I had a small fire in December, and the heat damaged one of the floats. The strap that is part of the float needle tang had gotten hot and was drooping in such a way that it was keeping the float needle from closing, So be sure to recheck all the float settings, especially on the carbs that were on fire.
