So funny story. I tear down my carb, soak it for a day then clean out every little nook and cranny with carb cleaner and an air compressor. I adjusted everything on the bench and Put said carb back together using a rebuilt kit I purchased from J&M speed out here in riverside this morning and now no matter what I do I have a water fountain out of the secondary overflow. Pulled the needle and seat out found nothing inside causing a bad seal. Used a small screw driver to make sure my float was well...floating and then cleaned out the needle and seat with some air and carb cleaner and reassembled. Still have a fountain. So what am I missing guys?

id start with seeing if the float was full of fuel. not enough to make it sink , but enough to keep the needle from seating!

Holley I'm assuming...pull the bowl, blow through the inlet with your mouth and raise the float with you finger.  Should pop an eyeball halfway out when the needle valve closes if you're blowing hard enough.

Call me if you need help, I'll be up for another few hours.

Had an almost identical problem last week on my pops boat, but it was coming up the primary vent tube. Found a bad o-ring/poor seal on the float needle valve. Replaced the o-ring even though it looked ok and took care of the problem.

Has to be something simple and overlooked if it worked fine before tearing it apart... :thumbup:

Only really one of those 2 things. Gasket covering a hole or needle and seat issue. Holley pretty simple.
