i had a weird thing happen to me this morning.. car been running great, no probs. i got on it a little bit, and then when i let off, it seems like the floats stuck or something, but the car loaded up and fuel started pouring into the venturis from the secondary side vent.. i let the car sit, but it didnt go away. i pulled a screw out of each bowl, drained em, tapped on the needle incase it was stuck and then it started up no prob, and its fine now.. any idea??

usually if the float is too high, that causes fuel overflow right? i'm not a carb expert. i just set my float levels the other day, so that shouldn't be the problem. think it was dirt in the needle ..? or am i missing another problem entirely?

its a holley 650 doublepumper mod'd by nickerson performance.

thanks for your help all!
