If not, you most like will need to take it off and remove the bowel to see what is going on. 01 Viper GTS ACR 10 Challenger RT PCP 6spd 70 Challenger 440 6 pac 73 Cuda 416 Road Racer 70 Hemi Roadrunner 01 Ram 4x4 / 98 Ram 3500 91 Stealth RT 05 Durango Hemi 09 Caliber / 99 Dakota 4x4 / 52 Dodge B3B

Mechanical or electric fuel pump fed? I've found the electric pumps usually require a slightly lower float setting vs mechanical
