Holley carb help

The fuel nozzle on one secondary barrel pours gas when the truck is running and drips until the bowl is dry when the truck is shut off. I havent took the carb off yet. Its a 600cfm elec. choke vac. secondary. Any ideas?

If it's the 80457-S, call Holley. Mine was recalled. If it's an 1850, I got nothin'.

Check float level. Loosen the gas cap slowly so you can hear if there is psi building up in the tank.

I figured it out. My mechanical fuel pump was putting out 9 psi. I replaced it and that solved it.
