You have at least one sticking float. Start by tapping the float bowls with the handle of a screwdriver. If they still flood, you will want to be sure the float gasket is trimmed to the edge of the bowl, so the float can not catch on it. Also make sure the float seats are good and clean.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.
