so maybe me coming up with that idea i must of sidestepped the lead float deal . Looking at a holley book, these untitanic floats, are you talking about the plastic neaprene foam filled floats ?.
i knew you was gonna ask that but i cant remember which way it went, but like i said holly told me which float i needed and they were guarantee not to sink. the extra pressure the blower created in the carb. bowl would pull the float wide open until you let up on it a little and then the float would come back to the top and cut the fuel off. this would happen from a dead stand still. it sounds just like his problem. i think i had the cork and needed the metal ones.
