I'm about 98% certain the fuel is coming from the acceleration pump shooter - which makes sense with only the primary plate getting wet. Unfortunately the accelerator pumps are down underneath the carb getting radiated with heat off the intake manifold. They are definitely getting a good heat soaking. I set the floats a little lower but I'm not sure that will do anything about the heat buildup in the accelerator pump.

I'm trying to figure out if I can fabricate an aluminum shield to slide under the bowl and accelerator pump and secure with the base plate bolts. But it's pretty crowded and tight under there with a LR intake and a breather sitting under the rear-most carb fuel bowl.

Fortunately it's not a lot of fuel peculating - but just a few drops of fuel can set up a gas stench that lasts for a day or more in the garage.

I sent the Holley tech site an email asking for any solutions - it looks like it will be next week before I get a response.
