Default flooding issues

Cleaned up the carbs, bypassed the fuel deliver system (self mixing oil

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)?

If the carbs have float bowls then you have one sticking. Is it one carb per cylinder? Did you notice which cylinder(s) was flooded? Fuel filter should be full all the time.
