gas pouring out of secondary boosters?!?!?

Do that.




You could have .150 mains and .090 pvcrs that are open to the main well (if for laughs, the power valve vacuum port was blocked off) and the engine will still idle unaffected by the main circuit.

Fuel will NOT discharge from the boosters until airflow through the venturi creates a strong enough signal, of which there is none at idle; it will only discharge if the fuel level in the main well is at the height of the booster fitting in the mainbody.

The fuel level in the main well is the same as the wet level in the float bowl at idle/low speed.

Hold on. Before you go ripping things apart, take the back of a screwdriver, (the one you are going to use to set the floats and adjust the idle) and tap the top of the needle and seat. {good taps) you are not going to break anything. Then try again. This usually loosens the needle from the seat. It could be debris but usually just a sticky ingredient in the gas that has dried. I've seen this alot in race cars that sit.
