Just got the car running near perfect. Adjusted the carb and all was well. Speed Demon 750, ZZ454. Carb new as of last season. Engine very little miles. Get on the highway just now and all of the sudden it started to stall. It was very difficult to keep running but I managed to roll it back in the driveway. Shut it down and I heard what sounded like a waterfall. Looked in the carb and each barrell was full of fuel!!!! I don't know what the heck happened. THe carb is almost new. I'll call BG tomorrow but what do you think happened? Did I blow something in the carb? Should I check my fuel pump for high pressure?? Before I order a new carb, how can I check that the fuel pressure was not too high? Its an Edelbrock Street pump... Thanks guys...

might be something as simple as a bad float, or a piece of something stuck in the needle, keeping it open.

Make sure you change your oil, too....

That would be great if that is all it was. I'll give BG a call and get their advice. I will change the oil because I'm sure it is full of fuel.

Thanks.
