Hello, I'm new here. I have a 1968 Satellite 318 worked over a little. Car has been sitting for years and had new quarters and new paint job over that time. When parked it ran fine. I yanked the carb off years ago for something else, picked up another Holley 600 at the Indy swap meet. Had a edelbrooke too. It wouldnt idle or run right with it on so I popped the Holley on...it wouldnt idle but it I rev it up it will stay running but popped and cracked. So I thought I should rebuild it. So I did and also rewired the engine compartment and upgraded to newer voltage regulator. Well almost the same thing is going On except it isnt poping and cracking just a little ruff sounding, but it still wont idle. Unless I hold my hand over the back half of the carb then I get gas on my hand and when I remove my hand it revs up then dies...ive had this thing apart twice cleaning and blowing thru it. Had it off and on adjusting the rear butterflies...nothing changes cant get any adjustment out of the idle air screws nothing...ita got me at wits end. Another issue I have is I dont think the voltage regulator is working but I havent had a chance to get a new one to see that theres no issue there. I will be taking the one off my van tomarrow to check that the charging system is working properly..but that shouldnt have an effect on this issue...its wired correctly, has new plugs, and I cant find any vacume leaks....i was wanting to get this thing going and go to the nats this weekend but if I cant get this carb to work that wont happen. I think this carb is just junk or has been peiced together and just isnt right or somthing...can anyone help me with any ideas? Thanks Kevin fromOhio.
