Thanks Guys (blokes)
Bob & Larry,I think your on the money with the carb/blower vacuum , The thought has entered my mind
What to to to solve it, I dunno, yet.
The engine has done about 1 hour, 3 miles, and 3 oil changes, I'm also onto the oil pollution thing. )I'm a tad worried about hydrailic lock at the moment.
Chris,
I bench tested the carb / pump / regulator combo @ 4PSI with no sign of overflowing.
The carb(s) were set up by "pure power" (Jim Payne) for use on Jr Dragsters
Have I mentioned its a pain in the freckle to start (cold) when its set up as it is now ? (Aerostart needed)
Doc,
I'm pleased to read you left a good collection of your grey matter in Bendover mate,
You still crack me up when I need a smile fix.

EDIT
I finally got some heat into it, and monitored the dribbles, bugg'rall smell , and settles once the heat gets in, there's a fair amount of condensation going on in the collector I think (ambient temp 65 degrees here)
I had time to play with the idle mixture screw this time (on 'tuther side from throttle) starting with 1 1/2 turns out, poor throttle response, then 2 turns,,same result,,then 2 3/4 out,,it stopped.
Restarted with 3/4 out, it started to hunt (It's always done that) and throttle response improved, so I went with 1/4 turn,,,vast improvement,,but still sounds lean just above idle, but manages to hurt my ears when blipped from past that.
That "fuel" might be mostly water ? although it made Mrs "T" gag when I poked a wet finger in her nose, for a second opinion
I'm gonna up the pilot jet and try again.
EDIT # 2
Manifold vacuum is 18" @ idle, raising to 20" just above idle.The fuel dribbles have stopped ?
#65 pilot jet is in, it seems close enough for another test ride, get some uniform heat into it, and play with needle position and main jet if needed.
