Thanks Paulwho

I appreciate your info., and I do have minimum leakage while under a pressure test, with injector lines capped. But, my fuel builds up in the intake, pudling up (I can see it after the flooding occurs). It floods so bad that I have to remove the spark plugs, clean and dry them, spin the engine over to dry the cylinders of raw fuel, then it will crank again to repeat the same process.

Rust sediment is the culprit, as the engine was running exceptionally well after the head rebuild, but the fuel sending unit had stuck at half a tank reading, so when I ran out of fuel, rust sediment clogged the injectors and FD, and EHA. As a matter of fact, one hole in the EHA is clogged, the other air blows freely. So cleaning is due, with the ultrasonic cleaning fluid. Just one more mountain to climb until I believe the problem will be resolved.

After cleaning, I will have to adjust the FD......(after assembly) so if anyone has any hands on with that, it would be appreciated.

Thanks again Paulwho, and to everyone that has been willing to help me! I'll be sure to take photos of my disassembly and cleaning process....and I'll try not to pull too much hair out in the process! LOL!
