I wonder if the fuel level is too high in the fuel bowl.

You don't have fuel coming out under any other conditions?

Rather than just lowering the float level, you should make sure it is set right. It should just dribble out of the bottom of the bowl site plug hole.

Re: gas coming out vent tube on hard take off.

just on hard take offs. and it just dribbles out when u bump fender. and i even set psi down to 3psi to see if it still done it and it did well i would say it is more like blowing out of the vent tube on front side.

and get wrose when u let off the gas on hard acc
