Need help with edelbrock 1406 carb

Did u chk floats for a leak? Might not be the most popular opinion, but I have never run a psi regulator and never had a psi problem.
I'll take the top off tomorrow and have a look. I just know many many people run into fuel pressure issues with carters/edelbrocks. But maybe it is a float issue but fuel pressure is the 1st troubleshooting step on most carter/edelbrock trouble shooting guides for flooding....
