The carb was flooding engine and fuel was coming out the choke.. I mean dripping heavy. I checked the pop-off needle (metering needle) and seemed to hold under pressure. I even turned the low needle completely closed just to do a quick test and the fuel still came out of the choke spilling into the fuse. I talked with Gotz and decided to just send back to him and he's having his "carb" guy fully test it. He still believes the metering spring is too weak to hold the pressure.
