Dave Massey rescued me. He looked at the carbs for a few seconds, there is your problem. Take those caps off the ports that would normally have hoses going to the carbon canister (that's not on that his car). Those ports need to breathe to allow the pressure
to equalize so the fuel valves can shut off. Took the caps off and it is working perfectly now without puking gasoline.

THANK YOU DAVE!!!<br>

You are probably on to something here. The car is a 76. I will be at the garage working on the carbs again today. If you have a free minute to talk some time today, give me a ring.

What year is the car? In the 73 and later cars the carbs have a valve that diverts the float bowl vents from a port on the face of the carb (air filter) to a port that is connected to the charcoal canister. These can get stuck in one position or the other and
the canisters often clog or fill up with gas. Or the lines get plugged. The diverter valves will open the port on the faceof the carb when the throttle is off-idle so see if there is any difference when the throttle is cranked open.<br>

Adjusted the floats. Pulled the chokes to get started. Cranked a few times and didn't start. Figured it needed fuel pumped. So I pulled the manual lever to fill the carbs. Stopped pumping when I saw gasoline squirting out the choke (enrichment) valve. I am
confused about what could be going on here. I have other carbs I can pull the valve and trade. But that may not be the whole story.<br>

Another possibility is if the float bowl vents are clogged there is no place for the air to go and the floats will never rise up to shut off the gas flow.<br>

Ditto Dave.<br>
Just had that same problem with a recent non-TR acquisition. PO had installed the higher pressure pump and the car instantly flooded as soon as it was turned off. Much fiddling and head scratching before I replaced the fuel pump with a 2-3psi Facet and problem
was solved.<br>

Is he running an electric fuel pump? If so is it a 2 - 3 PSI unit or the higher, more common 5 - 7 PSI pump? the higher pressure may be overcoming the float valves.<br>

Subject: [TR] TR6 Stromberg question<br>
<br>
My friend's TR6 was running poorly. After the car had been running, and was turned off, I noticed drips of gasoline dropping from the port below the forward carb just in front of the intake manifold. I concluded the Gross jet was not stopping the flow of gas
to the carb and gas was getting pushed into the engine. So I replaced both float valves with standard valves and also changed both floats. After putting everything back together, I ran the car for a few minutes and turned it off. It was dripping gas out the
same port. Looked in the throat from the air filter side and saw a small puddle of gas in the lower area right in front of the venturi. As far as I know, that means the gas isn't shutting off. Perhaps I didn't adjust the float correctly. Or there is something
at the fuel inlet orifice allowing gas to bypass the valve. Is there anything I am missing here? Could the enrichment valve (choke) be the culprit? I haven't touched that yet. I adjusted the new float to fully close the valve when the mold line of the float
was parallel with the horizontal edge of the carb where the fuel reservoir attaches.<br>
<br>
Am I missing anything else here?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
