That's my intent. This carb (2-4bbl intake) is weeping fuel after shutdown in the primary throats of this one carb when hot. Also braking for a turn killed the engine the other day - although it fired right up. Expected to find the floats set too high but they are actually just barely low on the primary side and quite a bit low on the secondary. Possibly the needle/seat has some gunk on it. I plan to lower the primary just a bit more, clean everything and see what happens.
