Ford 4100 carb

Recently rebuilt 390 has 600 miles on it.
The car starts perfectly when cold and idles down properly as it comes off the choke. Once warm, it will start immediately without any throttle, but if we wait aminute we need to give it full throttle to re-start it. What we have found is that gas starts dribbling down the venturi tubes in both the primary and secondary openings when the engine is off, thereby flooding the warm engine. The floats are at book spec.

Any thoughts...,
Thanks
