Also you could have fuel coming out of the vent tube causing it to flood out on sudden stop after the burn out. A fix for that is to use a piece of rubber hose raised up front to back with a air notch at the top for vent, I've also seen guy's use 90 degree spark plug boots. it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

We run blank power valves I do also and it was the gasket causing the leak so what I am saying is check the gasket.
