I know you were referring to me. I have spoken to several guys with the same problem. One of them is the gold webers at the ERA booth in DVSF II. It seems to be common. I think that the floats close the intake valve and the heat in the engine area raises the line pressure. I talked to Inglese and Dan checked the pressure regulators and they do not have a check valve or anything that he felt would cause the pressure to not drain. The suggestion of putting a small (65 jet size, or Bob's suggestion) seems to be the accepted method. They run the line back to the tank. I'm going to do this to mine while I have the engine rebuilt.
