nikki carb getting to much fuel

hello all! so i got my 1982 rx7 running decent the other day and today it decided to flood and now on the carb on the little fuel window it sits at about 7/8th full...i tried taking the top of the carb off and cleaning all the jets and everything and it all looked clear and bending the float tabs a little bit but that didnt do much.. what can the problem be? its a rebuilt carb haaaalp

Did you keep the old needles and seats? Did you install the new needles and seats on rebuild?

If yes to both questions, put the old needles and seats back in and don't mess with the floats.
The new needles and seats do not work well in the rebuild kits.
