Nope didn't try that. When you set it up on a bench so you can watch what's happening I figured that wouldn't help. Not being on the intake but up in the air and  6# pressure  it didnt do anything. This carb has always been a problem.
   One reason for it's lousy reliability is because  My project car has been in the making for almost 20 years. It would run great for a while then mess up. I have gone thru it a lot refreshing it up over the years. In the last 2 years of driving it on and off it just doesnt wont to behave.   I'm going sniper F.I. so it's no longer a issue but it just bumms me out that this carb is the first one I have done that I coun't get to run perfect. Darn sure not a guru but have always did ok    Thanks for the replys.

Kenth:
An inlet needle clip located in one of the holes on float arm is a recipe for flooding.
Clip should be "hanged in" from behind of the float arm to not bind.
