        My swag: Sticking/bad float or leaking needle valve. Sounds like
the bowl is getting overfilled with fuel.

I remedied the header turning a pretty red. Got the carbs running at
about
850-900 rpm's. Runs a little rough, but it does have a mild cam. I
probably
picked the worst carbs to rebuild. I believe they are off a 73-74. Has
the
little hoses for emissions. Should have used my 72's and found another
one.
Anyway, the only odd thing, is while I was balancing out the carbs,
there was
a few stalls. When this occurred, I saw gas coming out of the choke
mechanism
and also out the of the bowl vent. Does anyone have any idea what causes
this?
I am fabricating stock air boxes to fit the triple setup. So the carbs
are
running wide open. Makes me a little nervous with gas showing up in not
so
good a spot. Any help as usual is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex Manzo
