    Setting the floats for a lower fuel level would be my first step. Good luck,:) Frank

    What kind of carbs? If it's 97's or 94's you probably have too much fuel pressure. 2 pounds is the standard for 97's.

    Perhaps you can experiment with that foam stuff,they put in lawnmowers,and stuff,to keep fuel from sloshing,with vibration? Sparky:confused:

    Make sure your floats don't "sink" .... a float with a tiny leak will allow fuel into the float and it wii seek it's own level in the chamber .... to adjust measure from the airhorn to the bottom of the float ( with the airhorn INVERTED) ...I usually set a 'problem" 2G at about 1 10/32" or so ..... make sure the needle moves freeley in the seat with NO binding ( check DROP measurement too ... if it drops too far the float WILL hang up) ....
