My nikki is flooding. The fuel fills the bowls completly and spills in side the carb. Fuel dilevery is a holley red pump with a regulator. I use to have a holley carb and racing beat intake but i removed them in light of my economic status. The gage on the regulator is broken. I have the set srcew turned all the way clocwise. As far as setting the floats what do you do. These arent like holley's. So what I just bend them down. maybe my regulator is fucked up??? What do yall think????

i think all the way clockwise is full pressure, which is too high. stock carb needs 2-3psi

Yep, the more you turn in (or tighten) that screw, the higher the fuel pressure. If reducing the pressure doesn't help, then maybe the floats are stuck. Reading material can be found at www.sterlingmetalworks.com
