I have a 1405 Edelbrock and it is dumping too much fuel in the carb. I have asked people and they said something may be stuck, but I have tapped on it with wood like told. It did not work in your opinion what could it be? Is it suppose to do this? I was told that the primary venturi clusters are supoose to dump fuel, but it does not seem right. Let me know
