Reply to "Heat Soak and Flooding"

I really should have put in another update. After all that work I had done, it seemed to be running great for a while, then the problem came back in spades with it coughing and choking, billowing black smoke, and needing lots of revving to keep it alive after it had heated up.
After dropping the fuel bowls as a temporary way to get it to 'limp home' I replaced the needles and seats, brought the floats back up, and she's been running a lot better (I still haven't dialed in the idle to where it needs to be, I took it down a bit and now she is struggling with hot starts). I'll see what the new season brings when I get her out of storage in the next week or two - still waiting for the rain to wash all the salt off the roads.
