I am wondering if the venturi cluster is bad in the bowl section. When I swap out the carburetor it fixes the issue. My problem is that I want the throttle plate from carburetor b (because the shaft is worn causing a vac leak and high idle ect) but the rest from carburetor a. I have orderd a kit to place a bushing in the throttle shaft of carburetor a, that way everything works. However I am still left wondering what is wrong with carburetor b. It has been completely rebuilt, I doubled checked it myself and everything is in order that can I see. The only thing I can think of is the venturi cluster is bent or clogged or bad is some way that I can't perceive. This could be the reason why when 48ply1stcar swapped the bowl it was fixed. Because the bowl has the venturi. I know my idle screws are correct as I have three carbs with the same ones in all of them and they have very distinct heads. I know the excess fuel is coming from the transfer slots because after running the car with carburetor b and taking it back off I can see where the gas was being supplied from. There are only two places, the transfer slots and idle screws. And I know that the butterfly has been set correctly to show the correct amount of transfer slot. Any ideas are much appreciated. Also my timing was not the issue.
