Default flooding issues

Cleaned up the carbs, bypassed the fuel deliver system (self mixing oil
into the tank) and rebuilt the fuel pump.
NOW we are having issues with the engine flooding and backfiring and
have noticed that now the fuel filter stays full all the time. The boat
will run for a period of time and then just acts like it skips and beat
and stops. Upon pulling the plugs and cleaning them up we notice the
engine is flooding and are now unsure as to how to correct this issue.
Also what do yall think about just changing out the plugs and plug wires
as a cure for the problem (the plugs are good but the top cylinder wire
must have a tare in it cause it will shock you)?




Still sounds like carb. issues with float and or needle and seat.
Replace the offending plug wire or wire set, but don't expect it to cure
the flooding.
