Thanks for the posts, guys. I confirmed the floats were floating by laying them in the float bowl bottom half (with gas in it), tabs resting on the little ledge. The floats are white, and they both floated. I even pushed them down and held them, thinking they might fill up with gas, but they didn't. I have original needle valves, Grose Jets, and the new pair (from Vicky Brit). When I try to blow through each, they seal off quite nicely when I push on the pin (or ball). Car has been sitting for quite some time (~year), but fuel filter is clean. I was going to take the carbs off this weekend and rig up a syringe to push water into the fuel inlet until the float rises to see if I can re-create the problem. By the way, where are the bowl vents located? Thanks, Mike
