I was/am having the same problem and was told to replace the float needle...I did...I
have the same problem...before you change the float needle CHECK YOU FUEL
PRESSURE !!! and save yourself some money...I'm guessing when you check it
it's around 7 lbs.... should be 2 -3 lbs....do this first..

If the fuel pressure is high - How do you/did you reduce it?

High fuel pressure is a very rare problem but a carb float needle that will
not seal is much more common. Sometimes there is debris in the float needle
seat. Sometimes there is a groove worn into the float needle tip that
prevents sealing. Occasionally we've seen the brass seat itself have tool
chatter marks (ridges) in the sealing area that prevent a good seal. Once
in a while we hear of an older engine with the pink tipped float needle not
doing the job and in that case the stronger black tipped needle usually
solves the problem.

Pete is correct,but you are the 3rd one in the last 2 weeks that has had this
problem and after changing the float needle in both Franks Jab and mine it ends
up after checking the fuel pressure in mine and then his...they were both putting
out 7 + lbs of pressure...I'm just saying I would check the pressure first
and go from there...I did replace the float needle in my engine ,but I believe
the spring in the fuel pump was the problem...I wish I would have checked
that first....I will check it after I get the spring in and report...
And Pete..you should have taken the bet...lol....(glad you didn't ) there was a
spring in there....my friend and I were not communicating well that day...we
took 7/16 in off that spring to make it weaker and it did drop the pressure to
1.7 at idle and 3 wide open..Pete ,were you able to get the spring shipped that
day? and thanks.
