Sounds like air to me, not fuel.

Subject: [Healeys] engine flooding running too fast
I recently had my h6 carbs on my 56 bn2 rebuilt and I am having trouble with
very high idle (like almost full throttle) when I start the motor. There is
no fuel exiting the float overflows and they are unobstructed. The butterfly
valves appear to be functioning smoothly .
The motor flooded badly when using choke and would not start but using no
choke the motor starts right up but the rpms roar to 3000 or more.
The fuel pump was replaced with one producing 4lb pressure. Could the pump
be delivering too much fuel pressure and causing this problem.
The jet needles are Qw standard,could they be miss matched to the jets
causing too much fuel to enter manifold? are the butterfly valves not
properly seated? Or perhaps all of the above. Again this is not just a
little fast idle but a bunch. cheers JQ Ps The good news is that replacing
the timing gears seems to have fixed the valve timing and I can at least
start the little darling.
