Well, I finally got the beast to run off it's own power last night after installing a fuel cell, new fuel lines and a ton of new wiring. (Still alot left) After realizing I had the 1 and 3 plug wires crossed, it rumbled to life as expected. :rolleyes: Only this time, (after about 2 months), it's idle is really rich and I could see the primary venturi's dripping into the carb. If I recall correctly, that's not good right? After a couple clearing throttle bursts the drivers side venturi cleared up but the passenger side is still dripping fuel on to the throttle butterfly. 750 Double Pumper, new gas, new filters, a tad over 7psi off the regulator from the victor mechanical pump. Thanks guys...

Blow compressed air (or aerosol carb spray) into the air bleeds. Sometimes they get partially plugged and cause post-nozzle drip. Won't hurt, might help.

Might want to knock another 1-2 psi off the fuel pressure, and adjust float level, too.
