Carb draining?

Hey Chuck
How's the weather up there? I lived in Spokane for 45 yrs don't miss the snow or the cold weather, going to be low 70's here today.
The carb came of a 86 van 360 it's a 1708 M4ME with elec choke. I'm running manual choke as it needs a pulloff, combo choke and secondary air flap $40.
Has a new kit with new float, been soaked overnight in cleaner and idle tubes pulled and cleaned,used the book by Cliff Ruggles to rebuild it, guess I didn't do something right. I only used it because I put the matching manifold so I could use the newer rotary compressor. I'll take $50 + shp.
Just curious is there really soap in that Lake?
Thanks and God Bless
