You might look at your fuel gauge and only see 6 psi.. What pressures aren't you seeing with the hood shut? Warmer temps will also aggravate the problem causing flooding more often.

Joe-do the return line.I don't buy the "hot fuel line" thing.Sounds like they are grabbing for straws. As for the sound,you'll hear it with the engine off.A combination of the pump & underhood temps COULD be causing a spike that pushes the needle off the seat.



MR Mustang-i can see your point.To a point.

PSSSSSSSS-my side-oiler(17 over) has a Braswell carb that started life as an 850CFM and is now just shy of 1000cfm.Absolutely flawless and returns about 17 mpg on a trip.( not that i give a rats ass about fuel milage,but an indicator of it's effeciency)
