Help me diagnose a problem

[Gaz64]

Are you willing the inspect the carb needle and seats?

Have the float levels been check recently?

One the needle o-rings could also be damaged.

How much rubber line is between the last fuel filter and the carb?

Absolutely. I've had this carb apart several times, very comfortable with it.

The float levels are good. On a Braswell carb, you actually check them with a caliper to get them spot on, but of course I'll verify.

There is no rubber in the fuel system. It's all Aeroquip PTFE/braided line and hard line. A also cleaned out the lines thoroughly when I installed the system, 3-4k miles ago.

Sounds like you have a good system there.

Should be just a little tickle up now.

I would run the engine, and then observe the boosters for fuel drip after engine shutdown.

The offending bowl will show up that way.

I have had hard starting caused by corrosion inside the distributor cap. Might be worth a quick look.

Thanks Gary. Not sure I understand fully. Could you please provide more detail?

On the other points, I agree the ignition could potentially be the issue. It's MSD, and inf c nothing changed to a different box.
