Thanks for the reply, I was hoping you would respond because you are the Simmons expert on here. I'll give it a try.
What happened was when I put it back on the car it was flooding out, so I removed it and adjusted the float tab. It still dripped a little, so I adjusted it more. What I ended up with was a float way out of level and not set properly. So I just took it off and put a rebuilt Zenith on for now. As far as the idle jet, do you think the Zenith is OK?
Thanks again
