Engine flooding

Hi all. Quick question.

I've been rebuilding pyro. And I'm having a few issues. 

The engine keeps flooding. Now I never noticed that the float vent pipes into the up pipe had a split in. Would this have been the cause of the problem. Catbs are good clean and fresh etc..

I don't really want to put decent oil in yet. If there could be something else I've missed.

Any thoughts boost junkies

Also a big thanks to everyone who has had input in this rebuild. And sorry if I've come across a little shitty.

If the float bowls are not getting dynamic boost pressure the increased fuel pressure will certainly over pressure the float valves leading to flooding!

Sound. I never noticed the split it the vent pipe. I have redone all of it now so fingers crossed it's sorted.

So it turns out that the FPR stuck open. And was not doing its job properly. That and the split pipe.

So pyro is lives again. 

Few bits to button up chain etc and tidy a few bits. Then going to the dyno to check everything is all good.
