Ditto Dave. =20
Just had that same problem with a recent non-TR acquisition. PO had instal=
led the higher pressure pump and the car instantly flooded as soon as it was=
turned off. Much fiddling and head scratching before I replaced the fuel p=
ump with a 2-3psi Facet and problem was solved.=20

Is he running an electric fuel pump? If so is it a 2 - 3 PSI unit or the hi=
gher, more common 5 - 7 PSI pump? the higher pressure may be overcoming the=
float valves.

My friend's TR6 was running poorly. After the car had been running, and was t=
urned off, I noticed drips of gasoline dropping from the port below the forw=
ard carb just in front of the intake manifold. I concluded the Gross jet was=
not stopping the flow of gas to the carb and gas was getting pushed into th=
e engine. So I replaced both float valves with standard valves and also chan=
ged both floats. After putting everything back together, I ran the car for a=
few minutes and turned it off. It was dripping gas out the same port. Looke=
d in the throat from the air filter side and saw a small puddle of gas in th=
e lower area right in front of the venturi. As far as I know, that means the=
gas isn't shutting off. Perhaps I didn't adjust the float correctly. Or the=
re is something at the fuel inlet orifice allowing gas to bypass the valve. I=
s there anything I am missing here? Could the enrichment valve (choke) be t=
he culprit? I haven't touched that yet. I adjusted the new float to fully cl=
ose the valve when the mold line of the float was parallel with the horizont=
al edge of the carb where the fuel reservoir attaches.
Am I missing anything else here?=20
