fuel issue after car sits.

James, The cloud of fuel is from the pump shot while the engine is off and hot. I've done the fuel line mod and the carb spacer and had to add a heat shield just under the float bowl to get mine from flooding the engine after a hot shut off.
I gave the heat flapper a couple of taps with a hammer on each side to free it up.
I installed a clear filter and will check the level in the carb before first start tomorrow morning just to see if the filter is full and/or the bowl. I expect to see an empty filter and a full bowl.
I plan to check the bowl by removing the fuel line and pushing the needle in with something to see if fuel comes out.
