Restoring a 78 and cleaning the carbs. I sprayed carb cleaner into the inner carb area and the carb cleaner isn't draining. You can see the fluid sitting in the carb - shouldn't it be draining?

If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Why would ya do that? Some fluid will settle especially of they're dirty and clogged.
Take em apart and dip em.

You're wasting time and effort. Tear the carbs down all the way and soak all the parts in carb dip. When done reassemble with fresh O-rings from O-rings.com, and change the intake boot O-rings. Vacuum sync after it's all together and running.

You can see that it is draining on one side, the side going to the vent. The hole on the other side is plugged, as it should be. And yes, those look very nasty. Is that needle on the far right at a much lower level than the others?
