It's one of your floats man. did you pull out all the float needles?

I'm gonna bet it's the float valve seat. Usually there's an oring there that can produce these problems

Thanks Breagle
Yes I have pulled the diaphrams and needles to check them all...but haven't that O-ring.
It seems to act like it's my carb. #1 so I'm going to check it now.
O yeah ? about the AICV how can I tell if the electronics are bad on it?
Thanks Mike

I just put OEM NGK plugs in, after I fixed the carb. #3 float was stuck...
The thing was it ran damm good when it was flooding.
     Fix that and it sounds like its only on 3 cylinders.
        Can my Fuel/Air screw be that big of a problem???
           If anyone knows please give me the Jet specs.
                  Thanks,
                          Mike

I know that if you let it sit long enough the gas will varnish the carbs and continue to pour out. Alot of people will notice gas inside of the oil pan. I would make sure you have done a good 'couple' oil changes and make sure the plugs are covered. You might have to replace needles/jets.
