Question Secondary flooding

i have a 1981 Rx-7 GLS with the 12a 1.1L 4bbl carb. Rebuilt the carb, new floats, floats set correctly, 3 1/2 lbs. fuel pressure, fuel is over site glass, dumps fuel into secondary's when idling. Did the same thing before we rebuilt the carb. I need help ASAP please. thanks

The banana 0wn3 J00!!!!!!!!! You guys are just jealous of my banana

Along with what Sterling said, Tap the top of the float bowls where the fuel lines come in with a mallet or screwdriver handle. Alot of times they stick.

Found out that there is a aftermarket fuel pump on it and it has too much pressure. Im getting a regulator and it should solve the problem
