    OK, so does anyone recommend any shops around Atlanta that would be able to get this carb working correctly? I have opened it up, cleaned it, replaced parts, and I STILL can't get the primary to stop pouring fuel into the manifold at idle.

    has a vacuum leak at the bowl? Possibly. I am not an expert. But I had this problem with mine, except mine is a holley. The bolts the hold the float bowl wasn't sealing up the bowl, causing a vacuum leak, causing fuel to be pulled through at idle.

    Tired of messing with it:

    They charge $200 no matter what.

    From what I understand, the Holley and Weber carbs are essentially the same. It has a new gasket between the halves of the float bowl, but it could be leaking. I dunno. CarbJunkys is pretty freakin expensive; you can find a new 32/36 on ebay for maybe $50 more than that
