Default QJet Fuel Issue

At idle, when I shine a flashlight down into the primaries, I should not be able to see fuel being sucked through/dripping down, right??? I checked the needle and it is not stuck open, it moves freely.

at Idle you might not see anything, bump the throttle and it will squirt.
What problem are you having?

The car was running great until I changed back to a stock steel fuel line, ie eliminated a rubber line with an addl inline fuel filter. Its like the addl filter was "choking" down the fuel pressure and masking a problem with the carb.

Look down the vent tube or where the secondary needles drop in and you should be able to see the upper gasket-if there is fuel up to it your level is to high and its flooding.
