In answer to questions-
1-yes, did set the floats twice and I think they are o.k.
2-Didn't flush lines but did check and blow out jet openings to check for a prior problem. I did do some clean up to the ends of my lines .I'm using cloth bound lines for the period look but with the teflon liners. Debris from that might be the culprit.
3-120 gal mechanical pump with a Holly pressure reg. right behind it set to just under 3#.

I'm over the total frustration at this point and will open up all the carbs today. I can only assume that this has to do with the main circuit but , as you said, Gaz64, something is keeping the needle valve open-debris or just sticking. I'll report back about what I find. Thanks, Jon

btw- have many of you had success with the spacers under the carbs to cool them a bit? I seem to read spotty reports here on the forum.
