Get rid of the grose jets.  20 years ago, I had a set in my SU's for nearly
ten years and they were great.  I replaced them some years back with another
set and wound up with problems similar to what you're experiencing now.
Mine would dump fuel out of the overflows randomly.  Whenever it happened,
I'd get a bad stumble.  It seems that they just don't make 'em the same way
anymore.  
Ultimately I solved the problem by putting Solex's on the car :)

My float bowls have what I believe are called
gross jets. These have a ball valve instead of the normal pin. They flow
more
fuel but seem to close a bit quicker than the pins. Does anyone know if they
need to be set differently than the normal floats?
