1150 fueling troubles
My carb is dumping alot of fuel from the boosters into the intake at idle and up, I know there should be some but she loading up bad.
I pulled it apart and did find alittle trash but not much all else looked fine.
Any ideas this thing has me stumped.
Thanks

All looked good, holds steady level in the sight hole < I set them just at the bottom of the holes, running 8 psi at the carb and 18 at the pump.
Has a aeromotive drag pump, carb is a quickfuel 1150 Dom annular boosters.

Turn your pressure down to 7psi. Ive seen some carbs actually spraying some fuel into the vent on your fuel block from the needle seat, causing excessive fuel to come out of the boosters. But 99% of the time its your needle seats not holding.

I ordered new needle and seats today .130 and its possible there is trash in there. I bought some VP fuel from a local dealer and found what looked like flower in it a few days after , I swear it didnt look like that when I got it ,but I caught it at the track we drained everything and replaced it.
Might have whatever that was hidden in the carb somewhere so I will pull it down and clean the crap out of it and try again.
thanks yall I will let yall know

I have to agree with Carbguy on this one. I'll bet the throttle blades are open too far @idle, uncovering the transfer slots, and pulling fuel through the boosters. Try backing out idle speed screw until the boosters quit dripping, then readjust idle mix. You'll probably have to slow idle speed down after mix adjustment. I had the same problem a few years back and it ran me nuts! It turned out to be just that simple.....
