1969 XKE 4+2
I have a problem with one of the Stromberg carbs feeding too much gas and flooding out. I checked the floats and they are OK. I replaced the Gross Jet, but this did not solve the problem. The car starts, when left overnight, without a problem. Then stalls after a minute or so. When I checked the carbs, one of them has gas sitting the lip. The other is dry. Originally, I had gas running out of this carb and replacing the Gross jet solved the problem. Any ideas???

If fuel is flowing out it has to be a needle valve not seating correctly. I'd call Joe Curto as suggested and get replacement needles and the new solid nitrophyl floats. My OEM floats were the old hollow plastic type which will eventually crack and allow fuel to seep in. Set the float height per the manual. Also check the seat where the needle sits in the carb body is perfectly clean.
