The heat riser is totally out of commission, but I’m confident that it is in the open position. I do have an insulator between the manifold and carburetor. Again, the fuel coming out is not hot. And, when it starts happening is when fuel started dripping into the barrels.

For the float valve….if it was not sealing properly, wouldn’t I have the issue all the time or at least as soon as I shut off the car? I’m truly asking, as I don’t know. It seems to me that after I shut off the car, pressure in the line continues to build until the float valve is forced open partially to relieve the pressure. If that is the case, wouldn’t that mean the valve is okay?
