More than likely that sloshing is it. Mine does it also. I have lowered
the float level a little more than normal. For a while, per a tech at
Holley, I ran a hose from one vent to the other with a v cut in the middle and
on the top. Apparently an old race trick. That helped but did not
eliminate the problem. I guess I could lower the float more but not being a carb
expert either I don't know what the down side to that is. Anyone have an
idea?

Hello Clay,
I suspect your float level is wrong? I had the same problem for a long
time and I was pussy footin around with lowering the float level. For
some
reason, I think I changed the float level significantly and the problem
disappeared. I would guess that fuel is sloshing from the rear bowl to
the
front and flooding the carb? I am far from a carb expert and I may have
this all wrong, but if memory serves me correctly, that was the solution
to my loooong term problem.
