I've been whining about this overflowing HIF problem for a while, as you all
know. I got an email from Gery Brinkman today, who said:

I removed the plugs from my carbs, and it works like it's supposed to.
Although I haven't fixed the vaccuum leak at the head yet, the rebuilt carbs
work great, without the problems I've been having. Guess I'll rebuild my
'good' set of carbs now, as obviously they are fwanked...
I'm so happy, I can't stand it! Thanks again Gery!
