1) What do you guys do for the bowl vents when using a non-marine carb? Can you buy the hooked vents or do you just run a hose between the two vent and punch a few holes over the venturis?

2) I think I have a sinking float in the primary side, if I do, which type of float material would you recommend replacing it with? Brass or the black plastic type?

Joe "j" tubes are out there for sale in cyber world , won't however make for marine "compliance" if thats what your after. The venting may be a sunk or sinking float , high float level or "nicked/worn/damaged needle valve oring,after mkt N&S, worn/fouled needle and seat, too much fuel pressure etc etc Tom

It was nice talking to you on the phone yesterday. I am not so much looking for compliance as safety. After seeing how much fuel poured out yesterday there is no way I am not going to rig something up to make sure the fuel stays in the carb and not pour all over the engine. I am 99% sure it is a sunk float as everything else is new from a Holley rebuild kit. I am going to take the carb off in a bit to find out. We had a rough night at work last night so I am slow to wake up today!
