Last time the gas was pouring out of the airbox and into the engine. now it’s pouring out of the overflow line. Better? i suppose? but could it still be an issue with the floats? i really hope not because i left all my tools at my other house when i rode it here... and i kinda expected it all to be over with.
That's telling you the float valves are not seating. Most likely a piece of something stuck between the needle and seat, holding it open.

Check the tank and petcock screens, and make sure there is the small inline filter at the carb inlet. Drain the floatbowls and look at what comes out.

Did you check the float height when you had things apart? Were the float valves replaced?
