The flooding you're having, is it external flooding, as in gas dripping from the venturas and pooling on top of the carb?
If so, you can probably ease the top off and replace the float, clean the needle and seat, and adjust the float level.
If it has a lot of miles, a rebuild kit will get you a new needle and seat, accelerator pump and gaskets.
If it' internal flooding, as in black smoke on warm engine start up, it could be the galley plugs leaking. I've JB welded them with fair success.
Be sure to replace the paper filter and be sure the spring is there to keep it pushed against the inlet fitting. Check the choke pull off, see if it will hold vacuum. Sounds nasty, but suck on it, put your tongue over the hole and see if it holds vacuum.
Q jets were great carbs! They are simple and very tuneable. Back in the day I had boxes of jets, springs and metering rods. Not as good as fuel injection, but served their purpose well!
