RichardA=> If the cutoff jet on the carb in question => wasn't hooked up ... or if it was faulty could it be => allowing fuel to still flow into the carburetor from => residual pressure in the system created by the fuel => pump? The float valve is the part that stops fuel entering the carb. The cutoff jet prevents fuel flowing through part of the carb with the key off. Daniel's description of his symptom indicates uncontrolled flow, so your instinct is good, but there's so much fuel involved I'm sure his problem is less subtle. => if (the float) is full of fuel, will it allow the needle => valve to fully close? That would indeed cause overfilling of the carb, but he checked that, right DB?
