I bet you have side hung float bowls on those carbs, huh. Do they have the "whistle shaped baffles" in the bowls for the vent tubes? These usually fix that problem. Otherwise, you can get floats that have goofy shapes to compensate for cornering, launching at the drags, etc. Your float setting approach is correct except the screw only serves as a lockscrew, the 5/8" hex below it adjusts the float..
