Frank,
Do you have the original needles and seats? I rebuilt
a carb for a buddy's Toyota pickup and had the same
problem...instant flood and geiser, even with the
float maxed. I put the original needle and seat back
in and it went away. I have found out, these new
parts are junk. My Midget has the old needles and
seats I installed back in 1996 when it still had a 948
and are still operational. I wont replace them until
they give me reason to replace them.
