Hi Chris
Interesting points, but not the issues I'm having here. Now that I have the fuel delivery issue under control (found a crack in the pickup tube at the tank flange, pump could lose prime and not get it back, like sucking on a straw with a hole in it), digressed here, but as long as the fuel bowl does not get drained, this problem will not reoccur.
I know I can duplicate it by draining the bowl and turning the pump on. It will dump fuel at the rate of the pump until I start the engine, and then will not reoccur!

Really suspecting something with the way the main metering rod linkage is connected on this carb, see post above. As such, the linkage really doesn't do anything that I can see of.
