Hi Darrell:

Are you sure sure that the float is not sinking?

Hey Guys,
The GT6+ is puking gas out of the front Carb AGAIN!  The first time was
after 
the long trailer run to Texas.  I spent the 1st day there with my face
in 
gas.  It was flying out of the vent hole.  You would think a stuck
needle valve 
so I replaced it with a new one.  Still puking so out of desperation I
just put 
the old one back in and adjusted the float.  Ran great all during the
next 
three days of the Convention.  

Long trailer ride home and the front carb is puking again.  I am
stumped.  I 
am really stumped that the new valve did not work.  This is an early non

emission Stromberg 150 CD. Gas tank is redone by the gas tank ReNu
process.  Good 
in line filter. TR6 fuel pump.  When I took it apart the first time in
Texas 
all looked well.  Nothing in the float bowl, the float floats and is
adjusted 
correctly.  Maybe this Carb just don't like trailers?  Getting close to
taking 
it apart again.  What say the List?

Thanks in advance for any insight,
Darrell
