Hey guys, the sun finally came out today, so I decided to wrench on the
roadster for a little bit. Being that it's been raining the past few weeks,
and school has started up for me again, my poor little roadster's been sitting
outside for about a month now. Some may remember that the thing that side-
lined my car was the fuel leaking out the overflow. Blah blah blah, fast
forward to today: Now both carbs are leaking fuel out the overflow! The floats
are floating..so I don't think that's the problem. I have an electric fuel
pump (which has helped immensely), so I was able to check the fuel flow by
removing the float chamber top and then depressing the tab. Even when fully
depressed, the fuel is dribbling out. Is that my problem?? I've dismantled
both tops and cleaned out all the gunk in the works, so I guess the problem is
that my needles are worn, correct? I did place an order for those grose jets,
so I'm hoping that will solve this problem once they come in. BUT, does anyone
think that my problem may rest in another part that I've overlooked? Is there
a quick fix that I can do so that I can drive my car to school instead of
relying on another vehicle? Maybe I can pick up another set of needles/jets
from another source while waiting for the grose jets to come in....? 
Thanks in advance...

BTW, I have posted more SR20 engine stuff up on the BADROC site. I've also put
up a page re: my 300ZX brake project. Check the hot links at:
