As you posted this I was finishing reassembling the tank 'tap'. It was seeping with the new vacuum bits in it.
After taking the airbox off again last night, the front carb was flooded. What you've said above, could this be why the front floods but the rear isn't?
I don't know which part you're meaning though. Float needles....the long one visible below the plastic slide?
