See if the float has a hole in it or if it has gas in the float. Make sure the needle is on the tang of the float and make sure it moves up and down smoothly. Not sure if you have a electric pump but if you do maybe the pressure regulator is to high they screw up sometimes.

Subject: stuck float on Holley
Getting the car ready for spring.I had a small fuel leak coming from the from fuel bowl I w3anted to fix. It's a Holley Street Avenger, I think that's a 4160 (?). So I got new gaskets for the fuel bowl and metering block. When I started it I had fuel pouring out of the vent tube, so i figured dirty needle and seat. Long story short after trying to clean it three times and a new needle and seat the problem persisted. So I made a clear ploy carbonate cover for the fuel bowl so I could see what was happening when I added fuel to the bowl. Found out the float was sticking. Gave it a rap with a screwdriver handle and it bounced up. But every time I tried to repeat it the float would stick. So wondering if a new float is the answer or is it something simpler than that?
