The jets shouldn't make any difference. If the needle valves are not leaking
then the floats must be adjusted too high. If you remove the suction chamber
and piston and turn the fuel pump on you should be able to see the fuel
level in the jet. The pump should stop before the fuel level reaches the top
of the jet. If the pump doesn't stop or the jet overflows then the problem
is the float or the needle valve.
