DrippingCarb
 
I have a Holly carb that drips after shutdown is the float too high or what? Thanx for your input

needle and seat is usually the cause unless the power valve is blown out?

If the float is a little too high, expansion from heat conduction from the intake through the carb can cause it to drip also.

needle and seat.

When I have a dripping or overflowing issue on one end of a Holley carb, I remove both needle and seats and switch positions. If the problem switches ends I replace the needle and seat. If it stays at same end, I replace the float. (That is assuming you have the fuel level already at the bottom of the site plug or just below to see it is not a level issue.)
