Great! the day before the original posting about the Gross-jets, we
happened to have ordered some for our '66 MGB to solve this problem
exactly -- float overflow. They should be coming from Moss today.
Well, if they don't fix the overflow problem, we'll know what to buy
next! I'll keep you posted. (I don't think we have an American fuel
pump though.)
