Its got 120psi compression a top end with 6 hours on it. New carb fresh plug. The carb is clean. It floods out very easy. Could it be the reeds.

Yes, check the reeds for any cracks or holes in them.

Check the float level and re check the needle and seat for varnish buildup.

I ordered boysen reeds and they have a little gap in them. Could that be letting all the fuel in

Reeds have nothing at all to do with a flooding problem, that is controlled by the float in conjunction with the needle and seat.

Reeds allow the atomised fuel into the crancase and prohibit its exit as the piston comes down pressurising the crancase.

Ill have my mechanic check the float level

Have him check and clean the needle and seat as well.
