Holley secondary fuel bowl drains into venturi's

By Steve Boulay - 02/21/2002 1:25:42 PM; IP 207.18.199.124

The primary carb on my '67 Shelby 428 (2 X 4 bbl.)
keeps leaking fuel into the carb,(secondary side) and the fuel migrates along the throttle shaft and drips onto the manifold. I've tried resetting fuel level, checking the main body and metering plate for flatness, added phenolic spacers under the carbs(in case it's thermal related). The carbs are original Holley 4160's and have been rebuilt recently. The latest attempt indicated that the problem probably wasn't temp. related.
I'd appreciate any ideas on what to do next.(besides sending the carbs out to a rebuild specialist).
Thanx in advance for any insights,
Steve Boulay
