Thermoquad or Holley?

Holley floatvalves rarely leak. I'm guessing your PV is ruptured and gas is getting pulled back thru the vacuum circuit.. Pull the front bowl off carefully so as not to disturb the metering block. Then place a pan under the block and pop it off. If gas runs out from the cavity, there's your main problem. Put a 10.5 in there.

There is a hole in the base plate so there might not be fuel in the cavity.
