HS4 Overflow Problems

Hello all,

Well...the 77 Midget has its new engine and it's
running...sort of.
I have the 1500 Tr$*!h engine with the UK spec twin
HS4 carbs. Here's the issue:
The car starts great but after running for about a
minute the float bowls start overflowing and gas pours
out the mouth of the carbs.(not a good thing
considering the cat. is just below the carbs.
Now...this is what I have done but the problem still
exists.
I've replaced the float bowl lids, floats, needle, and
seats. I've tried turning the lids to a different
position. The fuel pump is the standard mechanical
pump. I have not replaced this as of yet but I do have
a new QH mechanical pump that I may try.

Any other ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Dan
