Dumb Carburator question?

[TF360]

So, if I had the idle screw adjusted to high, would it cause fuel to drip out of one of the boosters upon shut down- cold engine?

 

[TF360]

Just the curb idle not the mixture screws

No. Sounds like a float adjustment

 

[TF360]

Yea, it was still dripping 30-45 seconds after shut down.

Yes float too high, imagine the spark plugs are burning black too?

Guessing this is on your Slant 6.

Float high is possible. Or the needle and seat is worn or something stuck in it.

Install a return filter on the line after the pump and before the carb, run a hose from the return nipple into a bottle. Start the engine and shut it off. My guess is the problem will be gone.
