I will make a video tomorrow where you can see the fuel come out of the small sheet cover who holds the metering inside of the driver side , and also on the passenger side on the flap linkage of the secondary si would remove the carb assemble it and then check if you can blow in there while somebody squeezes 5psi out of you! this way you know nothing is hanging the float when it's assembled!other than that has to be a crack in the casting!
I went with the vitron accelerator pumps, #1467 on my 1407s when they started acting up. Haven't had any trouble since. Nothing to do with flooding though.

Yes 7/16" on the float level

Why did you change accelerator pumps?
The blue ones that come with the rebuild kits won't last very long especially with 10% ethanol. The engine wasn't idling right not long after rebuilding the carbs and watching the squirters, they were inconsistent. Read on here that the change to the vitron was the answer. Definitely did the trick, going on two years now.
Back in the 80s Chrysler had a recall on accelerator pumps for the same reason.
With 1407 and 1411 you have to use the 1467 part number . There are also available 1468 and the blue 1470 plunger , but these two plungers for other edelbrock modelsI ask because I've always wanted to try a different pump on my edelbrock 1411; I wanted to see if I could get a pump rated at a higher discharge than the stock one...

Thanks , I know this video . Exactly so it looks on my one, the fuel came out on the vents.
But I not have any dirt in the needle and seats , and if I turn the top with the floats and everything installed on the head and blow with my mouth air in the inline fuel line the needle and seats are fully seal, I not can blow any air inside . Float level is also adjust on 7/16”
I think is ok , no special fuel smelling on the oil if I check on the oil level dip stick. And also no higher level . Or you prefer a motor oil change ?Cool Deal Jack!
Check your oil in the crankcase for fuel.
