[Healeys] Overheating so hard that the carbs boil?

[Bob Spidell]

FWIW, I have a similar problem with our BN2--we can't get the front carb 
float valve to seal up (may be contributing to our fuel pump runon 
problem).  Symptoms are: fuel dribbling out of jet and, occasionally, 
will spit out the overflow tube. 

Our problem doesn't seem to be related to engine temperature, but I'll 
be watching the responses.
