[Healeys] Carbs overflowing on 60 BN7

[Alan Seigrist]

Scott -

Grose Jets / ball jets don't work if you have crud in the tank.  I
suspect you have some rust floating around and it has clogged up your
ball valves causing them to stick open.

I'd suggest taking the tank out and thoroughly cleaning it.  A failing
fuel pump is not far behind.
