I don't agree with this assesment, unless the spitfire is
vastly different than any other twin SU car I have known. I
don't suspect it is.
Pressure is supplied to both float valves at the same time
from the fuel pump. If one float is at the level it is set
to close the valve at, that bowl will not accept any fuel. This
doesn't close the line to the other carb though, it is
free to take fuel until it is as full as it chooses to be.
There is no "linkage" between the two floats other than
they are fed from the same line. One could be sat on top
of the other, they would still work. (by your definition
the top would not receive any fuel at all, and the
bottom would be flooding).
