hm, i saw it somewhere but cant find it again.

anyways, if i shut off my car and let it sit for a few minutes, i would get white, gasoline smoke, from the carb.

any ideas? it is melting my edelbrock pro-flo foam filter every week

hm..Maybe float level a little high or needle&seat w/a little trash in it. Maybe slightly misadjusted accelerator pump. It's dribbling fuel in there from somewhere.
