Flooding

could be :
Needle and seat bad
Float level too high
Fuel pressure too high.
My guess is the last one. Eddy carbs only like 5.5 lbs. I have had to use a regulator for my Eddy even with a stock 273 pump!!
Thank you very much! I installed the regulator today and it runs great. I would have spent a lot of time and money and still not fixed the problem.
