I have an edelbrock on one of my trucks, it was sitting a long time before I got it, started right up and ran good, then flooded, I blew it out, etc. a couple times and it ran fine each time, Then it would flood again. I didn't remove the seats, then read on here there is the screen behind the seat, took the top off, removed the seats and screens, cleaned and blew it all out, no more flooding.

My assumption was the seat didn't need to be removed because the air would blow through nicely...most carbs have a filter or screen at the inlet not at the seat, debris can be stuck there and will not blow out.
