What kind of Carb??? If it's a dual feed Holley, probably a stuck needle and seat

If that isn't it, it will be the rubber O ring that seals the needle and seat assembly.

Oops, forgot to mention that dang O-ring..... Thanks!!!!!

Had to replace both of them on a 650DP a few years ago on the road, ethanol ate em up.

I had the same problem and it turned out to be the screws in the meatering plate had backed out and would NOT lett the float go all the way up

.....THANKS Everyone, later today I'm going to pull the secondary bowl off & see what I can find. I'll check the needle, seat & O ring. Other than what you guys tell me I have NO idea what I'm doing. I just have visions of all these parts & springs flying out when I pull the bowl off! .... Oh I did read on the Holley web site & a couple of others so at least I know what the needle & seat look like & I see that 4 bolts take the bowl off... Oh I forgot to mention that this motor only has 200 miles on it. Plus it was dyno tuned in September of '06 {where it ran fine} & the Carb Shop rebuilt the carb {Sept. of '06} so I don't think any parts have worn out. The car sat after the fuel cell was installed {installed 2 years ago}. My Dad said that some dirt probably got into the fuel cell then got through the fuel filter & got into the needle & seat assembly.... He's forgotten more about cars than I know. Only problem is the last carb he rebuilt was on a flathead Ford 65 years ago..... Thanks again Everyone! Bill

.....just thought of something; Am I going to have to make any type of adjustment to the carb when I re-assemble the secondary bowl??? Thanks ... Bill
