Allan,

If the carb floats are sticking, or not shutting off when back-pressure 
is sensed by the fuel pump, it may starve the engine out, and leave an 
un-purged residue of gas.

I don't exactly understand what you mean by "a pool" of gas "inside the 
throat?"

With an F4B and quad 465 CFM Holley.
