    Hoping someone can give me advice.

    Rebuilt my Rochester 4 barrel (ie kit and clean). Runs good driving along but let it sit at idle too long and floods the motor. Had a look and the primary venturies are dribbling fuel at idle. Don't think they are supposed to do this? I presume that at idle via the idle screws fuel is let in below the butterflies of the primary to keep the engine running not as I have seen from the venturies.

    I am wondering if anyone knows what the cause is?

    Your float level is too high or you have a porous float.
