The other carbs are getting fuel through flooded vacuum lines ect, When I say manually push the float its just till the needle stops and yes all new parts and rubber tip. Going to look at it some more today.  I think I will mention this as well, only because I think some of you will get a kick out of it.  When i first got the bike there was a tube running from the drain off the bottom of the bowl on the  inside right carb to the drain on the outside right carb.  I was like what kind of trickory is this??  Just chalked it up to shade tree mechanics and proceeded to take the carbs apart.  Then I also noticed the float needle was installed above the fingers on the float instead of slid in the grove of the float needle. Also there was an aluminium shim between the float and needle. Now I know whoever had worked on this before me was a damn genius (somewhat). He shut the flow of gas off from the float needle and fed it via tube running from drain of the  other carb which in turn is keeping it at or around proper float level. I however would like to get it running properly.  I keep coming back to float and float needle but every time I replace parts it does the same thing.

Since each carb is it's own entity, and has no way to interact with any other carb on the bike, there is no way that one carb is causing the other ones to flood. If you are having carb bowel overflow, it is a float, or needle/seat problem. If for some reason gas is going into the slide diaphragm, you might have a bad/mis-adjusted  intake valve.
