after you have cranked it over to fill the float bowls up to the site windows ( don't run it and get it hot) do the same drain and compare the amounts of fuel (do both primary and secondary)
Will try this, but what will we learn from this exercise? I assume there would definitely be lots more fuel after the bowls are full. Thanks!

Unfortunately no room under the hood for even a 1/4" spacer. But even with the bowls evaporating I am still able to fill them up by cranking the engine for 5-6 seconds. But for some reason the process of filling the bowls floods the cold engine. Have to guess that it must be as others have stated, some kind of leak somewhere
