if thats what rb uses at sea level your jets may be too big, depending on your altitude

my altatude is 500ft. but i just noticed that the primary jet is 49. and my current ones is 50f

could 1 size to big really cause all my flooding issues. are the jets in use under cranking speeds the engine seems to flood right away dnt worry its not supply related and the floats are correct

ps the info above is top secretdont tell anyone

When I took mine apart the primary's were 49s. Secondaries are blocked off from what I saw you need a special tool to get to the secondary loop,
