You still haven't said which carb it is. Unless you have the idle adjustment screws too wide open, they shouldn't be causing this problem. Did the rebuild kit have any instructions with it? Another problem that may be causing flooding is the float adjustment. It may be continuing to fill after the fuel bowl is already full and that will cause it to dump gas into the carb. Since you haven't told us which carb it is it is difficult to respond to your questions.
The rebuild instructions should have told you, before you started the rebuild, to carefully turn the idle mixture screws in until they just seated while counting the turns. Then when you finished reassembling the carb to carefully turn them in until they just seated and then back out the number of turns you counted prior to starting. If you didn't do that, then run them in till they just seat and back them out about 2 turns. It should run and then you can fine tune them wit a vacuum gauge.
You may have the floats adjusted so they let too much fuel into the bowl. If there is a sight hole in the side of the bowl, remove the plug to see if fuel runs out, keep some paper towels under the sight hole to soak up any fuel that spills out. NO smoking please [-X . If fuel comes out, then you need to adjust the fill valve till fuel just reaches the bottom of the sight hole, a fire extinguisher handy would be a good safety precaution .
Did you do the rough adjustment to the float/s as directed via the instructions?
Did you adjust the throttle plates? They should have been set to whatever the instructions said, that is just barely open. If they are open too wide the idle mixture screws will have very little or no effect. That is because fuel will be coming in via the transition slots which shouldn't be providing fuel until you start pressing on the accelerator.
