Ron,
 It sounds like you bowls aren't correctly vented. You must have the ( I
call it a tri-hat washer) either the early aluminum or the red fiber ones.

I need to open up my float bowls to look for sticking needles or something
that is causing my carbs to flood.  It happens when I try to start the
engine
again after a long drive.  It will eventually start, but with a lot of gas
smell which I assume is the flooding.  No other problems.  Runs great.

What are current opinions about new needles (Moss advertising Viton Tip) or
Grose-Jet
