It is the original carburetor that I rebuilt several years ago. It has always had a problem leaking where the top meets the middle section. Now after you drive it when you restart it is often flooded and takes a while to run correctly.
I have tried to adjust the float level a couple of time, but to no avail. I am looking into having it professionally rebuilt or possibly replacing it with the Holley-Webber that Tom Langdon sells. Any thoughts or suggestions out there?

I have a 66 with the same carb doing the same thing. I am going to replace mine with a Carter YF carb based on a recommendation from Ken Brown. A rebuilt unit from my local store is $120.00.
Good Luck.
