i need help on where to start! (carb setup)

no idea on fuel pressure, no way to tell either. i do know its running a mechanical 340 high volume pump and i think -6 AN fittings and line. it ran fine last year until the motor went down due to oiling issue. it had a different carb and was mostly stock though. sorry i dont have more info

do you think a high float level mess with anything to cause my issue? they can be adjusted right on top of the bowls correct?

No problem. Yes you can adjust the floats up top. I added some thoughts to my previous post. Check it out and see if it sounds like i'm on the right track?
