Yeah you got something buggered up ... I was gonna say float level but the pump inlet is at the very bottom of the bowl, so you couldn't be that far off, or the thing wouldn't run at all.

Get a rebuild kit, a can of carb cleaner, and the haynes holley manual (very helpful), sit down, read the manual enough to have some idea how a holley carb works, and get started.

Most important ... a clean place to work where little springs and check balls won't roll off onto the floor and be lost forever ... save the old gaskets until you are done ... make a mental picture of everything you take apart, where it came from and what was attached to it, that really helps putting it back together.

Whats the worst thing that can happen? you'll have to take it in, and you were going to do that anyway
