fuel spitting up from the car


hey guys, i just finished eliminating all the lines and vacuum from the pollution system, eliminated the egr and got rid of anything to do with the emission, i have the original 4 bbl holley carb that has the vacuum lines going to the canister, i plugged those up and i went to start the car, it started o.k. but i have fuel spitting out of the top of the carb, and if i unplug the vacuum lines to the carb it also spitts out of there also.

anybody ever run into something like this????

yeah knowing holleys are perfect out of the box it probably has some metal shavings holding the floats...and only really the edelbrock POS come ready to go..adjustments are usually needed with holleys AND demons
