The problem turned out to be the E-clip that holds the float came off (ok, probably not installed) allowing the float to move over and not shut off the needle valve. Easy fix and left the fuel pressure where it was. The 440 runs strong now.

I replaced the stock non-adjustable end hung float bowls (with brass floats) with end hung float bowls that had adjustable float level (with plastic floats. ...and yes, it has the equalization tube. I had to drill a very small hole through the vent tube since the new float bowls weren't vented like the 1972 bowls were. The fuel is now just gushing out of the vent tube as soon as the engine starts. Maybe I should go back to the stock brass floats? If I recall correctly they may be slimmer and longer (more leverage to push the needle shut). Regards, Ken -----Original Message----- From: Gary B.

Did you replace the float bowls with end hung floats or center hung floats. Sometime the float will drag on the rear metering plate (especially with center hung floats)and hold open the needle and seat. If this is happening you can sometime just bend the float mount a little and cure the problem. If the rear is flooding and the stock carburetor still has the equalization tube between the bowls, it can flood both ends of the carb. I build carburetors on the side and have ran into that a number of times. Good luck with it.
