My '78 Arrow GT has flooding trouble only when the engine
is warm/hot and has been sitting more than a few minutes
and less than it takes to make it cold.  A friend with
the same car had the same trouble and found that his
float had been made porous and heavy by the alcohol
additives in unleaded gases. MY float isn't spongy,
nor does it seem to be porous.  The car is tuned up
(or so I think), so I am at a bit of a loss.

At any rate, anybody else have knowledge or experience
with such a float problem in any kind of car??
