Default Lectron carb float bowl filling totally up and overflowing...why?

Hey guys...the Lectron carb on my banshee for some reason is filling completely up and is overflowing from somewhere. I assume the floats in the float bowl are supposed to rise and block the filling hole (pardon my lack of knowledge and specific terms). It's a clear carb and it doesn't appear the floats are stuck. Anyone have any suggestions?

check to make sure the gaskets or oring type seal between the mating surface of the carb and the float bowl arnt dirty, kinked or ripped.

Yeah, I checked that...don't think that's the problem. The float bow is filling up to the top...that doesn't seem right.

I as well am using 36mm Lectrons, I would start off by removing the carb and inspect the needle and seat area for dirt or any other kind of obstruction.
