Rangie Carb flooding

Been having problems with my rangie lately, it runs fine on the hi-ways, but stalls on stop-go situations, prolonged idle and while offroading where I'm forced to go slow. The problem is when the engine dies, you'll have to wait a while to let the excess petrol dry in the carbs before it starts... even the pedal to the floor trick won't get it started. Must be a case of flooding carbs as you'll see some gas leak from the driver side carb down to the manifolds. Should I have the carbs checked? Someone suggested I should have the float checked? I also suspect a mismatched fuel pump as I replaced mine with a FACET solid state electronic fuel pump...the return might be too restricted for the pressure of the pump? Any ideas?

the float level basically regulates the amount of fuel that goes into your engine via the jets.... if the level is too high it will flood.

thats about all the light i can shed for you, they are fairly simple to adjust but I've never done it on a rover so cant help you any more sorry

The facet pump will be fine for the carbs(no need to change the size of the return line),will more than likely be something wrong with the carbs.

Thanks guys, so I think I may need to have the carbs checked...
