what would cause excess fuel dripping from only one venturi
edelbrock 600 cfm. i am having idle issues..sounds like its hunting. so i looked down the carb while running. one venturi is kinda dry and the other side is dripping globs of fuel. and my jets are the same rods same springs same and the idle screws dont do anything when it comes to the fuel dripping? dirt somewhere?

nope still need help...looks like even under part throttle that one passenger side main venturi is just drooling liquid gas all over the throttle blades. while the other is pretty much bone dry. checked and re-checked jets, springs, needles and all the same. floats are hanging the same. no dirt anywhere? its a edelbrock 600 #1406. please help..

They come out with the whole booster assembly, you can inspect them and clean them pretty easily.

WHERE ARE THEY? HOW DO I GET TO THEM? FROM UNDERNEATH (REMOVING CARB OFF INTAKE?) something has to be clogged.

From the top. Take the top of the carb off, the boosters are each held in by a pair of torx screws. Pull them out and flush all the brass tubes sticking out of them with carb cleaner and compressed air.
