<VV> Turbo Carb leaking very bad!

[Michael Cassera]

I put the regulator in but still no luck.  If I set it to anything over 2
pounds the carb leaks at 2000+ rpm.  Even at 2 pounds, the carburator leaks
at idle and eventually floods out.

Ted mentioned a damaged float was the cause of his problems.  The car ran
fine on three occasions before it just stopped working in my garage.  It
sounds like I may have a similar problem.  Are the floats identical between
EM and LM carbs?  I have an early model carb that this rebuilt one replaced
that was working pretty good.  Could I take the float out of that one and
put it in the one in the car?

Any other ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Michael
