Do you by any chance have the aftermarket jet plates in your outer carbs? I ran into one that the float would catch on the jets and do what you are seeing.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

debris (common,need a good filter). bad needle/seat (common). float linkage hanging up (possible but less likely)

How can it be debri if it is a new tank and unit? I did notice that the jets were black. I can remove the black with my finger and they turn gold again. Is that from the alcohol that's in the gas now a days? (1) alot of debris gets by the gas stn filters (2) I believe so yes. #1 need a high quality 10 micron filter right before the carb inlet

Yes. I am using the Promax jettable plates for the outboards. I've been using them for the last 8 yrs with no problems. I've seen guys go back through the carbs and retorque the bowl gaskets...The added compression made the float come in contact with the aftermarket jet plate after years of trouble free service so it does happen... Take a close look at the float and see if it has tiny marks where one or both jets contacted the float.

With a good filter I'd say you are good. only prob with doing multiple fixes at the same time is you dont know which one was the culprit but we cant argue with success. I hear properly setup 6 packs are a killer
