spitting carb

Hey guys, I have my #1 carb spitting out its intake hole. It keeps gas fouling the spark plug. I have had these carbs apart and it is the only one of the 4 that has the problem. The main jet is 110 and the pilot is 37.5. The piston moves freely and a shot of air in the enlongated hole moves it up smoothly. The float level "seems" to be just like the other 3 but I would not bet my life on it being perfect. If I shoot air in the 2 holes at the intake it comes out the other hole so I dont have a blockage there. I also checked to make sure the gas is stopped by the needle when the float rises up and it does. I have a sneeking suspishion my float level is too high allowing too much gas in the bowl. Any ideas on what might be the cause? Thanks in advance, Joe

Well, I fixed it. Float level was too high on #1 and the spitting stopped as soon as I took the choke off. Smooth revs up to 9k so far. Didnt want to push it as the back tire wont get replaced untill tomorrow. I think it will be a fun bike at least till the ninja is done!
