Your air bleeds are stopped up. Pull the bowls and metering plates. Spray carb cleaner into the air bleeds up top. Then blow out with compressed air if you have a source. While you have the metering plates off give them a cleaning too.

Whenever I've had these kinds of problems I usually just put new gaskets in, new needles/seats, and spray carb cleaner through the air bleeds but it sounds like you've already done all this. Is the fuel bowl level set right? I had a 1050 years ago that just loved to catch on fire no matter what I tried. I tried a different 1050 carb and it didn't do that at all.

accelerator pump squirters check stuck?or check ball in bowl under acc. pump stuck open?i.e. the pump shot is not going where it's supposed to.
accelerator pumps are working well, the squirt goes out the squirters like you'd expect but as you take your foot off pedal the airbleeds act like gysers & squirt fuel out. i'm going to pull the carb off the manifold & attack the main body this arvo. gotta be something like a spiders web in there or something. i do have a spider problem on the farm here.

With what you say about letting off and it squirts out the bleeds that can be a couple things... fuel level is climbing in the bowls(either the pressure is high) or the needle/seats arent closing good... or the air bleeds are plugged so it doesnt get the air break

If you operate the acc pump and fuel comes out the bleeds and NOT the squirters,

no, it comes out of both the squirters AND the airbleeds. more so the squirters, the airbleeds squirt when you're taking your foot off the pedal. i bought this carb, near new second hand a few years ago to upgrade from my 4150 Race Demon, but it didn't actually run any faster than the Demon in ET, only gain was 2 mph. the Demon had better manners driving around the pits so i went back.
