Default Re: Holley carb rebuilt, now both floats sank!

For what it's worth, I've noticed that holley needle/seat assys are pretty sensitive to fuel pressure too. Seems like anything over 5 psi would unseat the needle and flood the carb, thats happened to me twice when using pressure regulated electric pumps.
