Unhappy Carb problems

I have an 87 with a 48 dcoe weber and it keeps loading up with fuel at idle and sometimes it leaks fuel out the volocity stacks , I think its my floats but adjusted them a few times and still no good. Any help please.

What jets should i be running?

You should be running a fuel injection system...

Sorry I couldn't resist, I actually know little (as I have forgotton almost all on purpose) about the old fashioned method of using carbs

Did you do the carb conversion yourself?
I really hope that your fuel pump (or, maybe the regulator, can't remember right now) was swapped with the low pressure unit required for the proper carb conversion. If not, the symptoms will be as you mentioned.
