    Yeh
    Seconary float level high? any way--if your needle / seat assy won't hold the fuel pressure(do you have a pressure guage?) holleys have some various size seats and the bigger ones are diffently pres sensitive, if the bowl vents over it sets on top of the throlle plates/shaft and leaks out the shaft end-will form a drip on the screw every time.

    want to verify it????? after you shut down the engine, drain the float bowls by pulling a corner screw and drian into dixie cup-no smoking, and engine will be hot so careful and know where fire ext are-------

    Thanks Jerry, I'll try this tomorrow night and see what happens.

    I don't have a pressure gauge, but I'm only running a Mr. Gasket Pump and its only suppose to put out 3-7 lbs. Heck I'm not even sure what maximum should be ?
