Thanks for all the advice on my carburetor issues. I checked all the vent
tubes for blockage and needle valves for sticking, all is well there.
Today i tried rotating the rear float lid 120 degrees. This fixed the
flooding during hard braking 100%.... Now it floods out turning left. I'm
fairly certain that i can fix it all once i swap the rear float cover to
one that has the ideal orientation (to match what i currently have on the
front). Front carb has the pivot swing front to rear with the pivot pin at
the front of the car.
