Re: stuck float on Holley

[Steve Mick <stevemick46@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you don't figger out the problem, give me a call. I had a real problem finding why my Holley  kept overflowing out the vent tube. It was an o ring that had shrunk on the needle - seat  which allowed gas to bypass from the incoming gas , directly to the bowl.. .......................MO

Getting the car ready for spring.I had a small fuel leak coming from the from fuel bowl I w3anted to fix.  It's a Holley Street Avenger, I think that's a 4160 (?).  So I got new gaskets for the fuel bowl and metering block.  When I started it I had fuel pouring out of the vent tube, so i figured dirty needle and seat. Long story short after trying to clean it three times and a new needle and seat the problem persisted.  So I made a clear ploy carbonate cover for the fuel bowl so I could see what was happening when I added fuel to the bowl. Found out the float was sticking.  Gave it a rap with a screwdriver handle and it bounced up.  But every time I tried to repeat it the float would stick.  So wondering if a new float is the answer or is it something simpler than that?
