Mike,

Regarding float bowl flooding, check fuel pump pressure (and volume).
SU's and similar carbs require low pressure pumps.  If someone installed
an after market, high volume high pressure pump that may be your
problem.  But I'm sure you've checked for that, right?

I apologize if this has already been mentioned; may have missed it.
