Well.....you have just changed to a decent exhaust so the flows going to be different. Might just need tweaking/rolling road.

the angle of the carbs should make the fuel flow into the engine and flood. as to why its going the otherway i am puzzled.

Strombergs? Perhaps you meant SUs?

Regardless, is the fuel coming out the throat of the carb... or out of the overflow vent on the float bowl?
