I think that if you set the float levels with the carbs setting FLAT on a workbench and then install them on the engine (angle mount) that the fuel will be level but higher inside the float chamber towards the centerline of the engine because the float fulcrum is on the low side of the carb when it's mounted on the manifold. I don't have the answer but believe a lower float setting is the solution. I think also the fuel would drip from the auxiliary venturis before the accelerator pump jets.
