Lynn, my tests so far are indicating no problem with the plumbing. A good healthy flow as long as the needle doesn't stick. I've just fitted my new one, and straight away I've had to tap the carb top to free the needle.

I like the sound of the Daytona valve that Rob suggests and have emailed them to ask the availability for my Ford 94 carb.

My other thoughts are that I've seen mention of the electric pumps with a pressure gauge and wonder if I should explore this more. Maybe my cheaper pump is already losing some pressure?

I don't think the pressure would be the problem. The needle should fall away with the lowering of the float.
Still too cold here to be out messing with carbs, so let us know what you find from Daytona. I note they do list the applicable Ford carb kits on their site.

Hi Rob. I had a reply from Daytona although I think they missed the point as they were giving me advice on over flooding problems.

Also they will not ship to UK or EU any more because of VAT issues?? I have asked them for a price in case you or someone else is thinking of buying one and might be inclined to buy one for me and post it over.

Regards Ron

I would be happy to help, but you may be better off getting help from one of the US MLU guys. We get dinged pretty heavy for postage these days from US to Canada, then there will be the postage to the UK. At least it will be a small packet from here, so should be around $20 for that one.
All that said, let me know if I can help.

OK thanks Rob. The valve from Daytona is $10. If no one from US offers (no pressure as I know it's a pain) I'll ask a guy I know in NY. Ron

I may as well get one or two of the valves for my own use. I doubt postage would be any more for 3 as opposed to 2. I'll contact them and see if they will ship to Canada.
