I am trying to figure out why these carbs, specifically the left one keep randomly dumping gas all over the place. I've adjusted the floats, visually checked the float stops the flow of gas when it is in the up position and even tried replacing the floats but no luck.

Every time I take off the bowls and move the floats around the bike will be fine for 5 - 10 miles or so then randomly I'll pull up to a stop light or park and look down to see at least one carb is leaking gas out of the bottom overflow hose. It seems to be after either riding for a while without stopping or forgetting to turn on the petcock, anything to cause the fuel level to drop in the carb. Once in a while it will stop on it's own, sometimes a quick tap with my hand will stop it, other times I have to take the bowls off.
Has anyone experienced anything like this with these carbs? Or is there something besides the floats I should be looking at here? Thanks
