Hey guys, back again with another issue, this time it's the carb. I have a 272 with the Holley-built 2 barrel. My old carb was leaking from where the throttle linkage went into the carburetor(or so it appeared), so instead of messing around with a rebuild kit, I found another one on Ebay(rebuilt). It bolted right on and started right up, but today when I went to start it again, I noticed it leaking in what appeared to be the exact same place! I though to myself " you've got to be kidding". I know there are some idle fuel mixture screws on the back and after adjusting these(they were all the way out) and adusting the idle screw it seemed to stop(for now). Could it be it is getting too much fuel and over running the float? I have the stock mechanical fuel pump, but I did install an aftermarket glass inline fuel filter. Seems to me this wouldn't affect anything though. Any help would be appreciated, I'm tired of tinkering and want to start driving!
