i hate carbuerators(sp.).

Someone help me this is so frustrating. I am using the RBHolley setup (which used to work fine) and now when i try to start my car, gas just pours out of

I should have never taken it out to clean it.
Does anyone know why this would happen??

needles are brand new. I just replaced all seals. Floats seem to be functioning properly. Jerry, can you tell me what is actually happening that the gas would overflow out like that?

EDIT: are you trying to say that my floats dont float when the side chamber things fill with gas and that that in turn doesnt push up on the needle to stop the flow?

I will assume that you have a non-ported motor.

Here is the link to RacingBeat web site that sells these.

It all depends on the port, Who did it, how big they went, etc etc

There is alot of options you can go with.

Look over Racingbeat, theu got some good stuff, but remember they are not your only option.

No problem, but a little advice for next time.

Try not to jack someone's thread, by asking your questions in it.

Just a little helpfull hint for next time.

Some of these may help us better understand you also. .......,,,,,,,!!!!!?????? These are various items that go in between words. They're used to define the end of one statement, and the beginning of the next.

I know, I'm an ***, but I just couldn't resist.
