OK...Here's where I am at; I just pulled the front and rear seats out...Front needle was free but did hang up a small bit-a quick shot of air and it freed up. Now...The rear needle was not moving-A good tell tale sign there. I gave it a small shot of carb cleaner then hit it with the air to dry it up...I shall await your next reply before continuing...

If the needles & seats are sticking at all, I'd replace them. It doesn't take much to make one hang up and flood over. No sense taking unnecessary chances.

Did you see any debris in either of them?

What about the "o"-rings, how do they look?

It all looked rather OK, but, I think with your input, just for piece of mind, Ill change the O-rings with new ones....I got the vent to stop the Bleeding! MAN! This things got some HORSEPOWER! 400SBC, Trick Flow Aluminum Heads, 5.7 rods, 69 Z28 Intake and Pertronix ignition & a 700R4. I put a set of Thorley headers and a crossover on it...BTW, it's a 70 SS Nova, fyi.

Belair;

That's correct, I do rebuild and restore carbs.

I don't know if anyone ever took notice, but the needle valve can be a serious restriction if it is not installed with the "window" lined up to promote fuel flow. Anyone who has ever held a Holley needle vale in their hand should be able to tell what I am saying. Now that you have the problem fixed, you may want to make sure they are installed or indexted properly.
