So my center carb is pouring gas out of the vent tube while the car struggles to start. It attempts to start, but then the fuel comes pouring out of the primary vent tube and nothing happens. I've put in a new needle and seat, and nothing. Below is some history on the situation.
Last Saturday while the driving the car, it sporadically started acting funny. The RPMs started to stumble, they would drop below a 1000 RPM then the car would sputter and die. I could restart it, drive a lil further, and same thing, sputter and die. Did this off and on until finally the car would not restart and fuel was pouring out of the center vent tube while trying to restart. However, earlier in the day I did adjust the float levels (center was way low) and idle mixture screws and the car ran great!! While trying to diagnose the issue, I've replaced the orange ECU and ballast resistor with new ones. Now the car will partially start, but as its trying to start fuel is pouring out of the primary vent tube but won't stay running. If the float is stuck, is there anyway to get it loose without taking the fuel bowl off? Any other ideas of what the heck is wrong with this car please?
