I had an awful lot of equipment over the years with Holley side-bowl carbs, e.g. IH 345s, IH 392s, small block Chevy's etc. Seems I was always changing the cork metering plate and bowl gaskets - and that was with old mix, good old-fashioned gasoline. I did have a few situations with what seemed to be excess fuel pressure - from electric or mechanical pumps. Usually happened more after a hot shut-down - not while running. But - all it did was force a little fuel through the inlet needle & seats, thus flooding the engine a bit. A lot of rigs with Holleys got inline adustable regulators installed. I suspect - all you need is two sets of new gaskets and o-rings and a resetting of the float levels. I assume the materials used today are better? One set you install, and the other set gets stored in the glove-compartment.
