HI,
I just went out and looked at what he put on.. and there like a black hard plastic? I ran the motor and watched it for a little bit and could not see any fuel leaking out anywhere?? look down the ventures and watch around the bowls and accelerator pump.
Something I thought was weird was that...
HI All,
I have a holly 450 QF sitting overnight both the bowls well empty, I can see a little puddle/stain on the intake. Carb is like 3 months after a rebuild from a Carburetor Shop. I have tried snugging up the bolts and its still draining? Do you think its the gaskets or the power valve and...
HI,
Can't seam to find a booster for it.. : ( .. it was running like crap this morning .. Unplugged the booster and it runs so much better no missing at all.. Now just need to reset timing and mixture screw's .. I"m going to run it in manuel mode and wait till I find one.
thanks again take...
HI,
If the needle and seat were leaking the fuel level would be high as it wouldn't stop the fuel flow.
I think I've found the culprit. Brake booster ...
DanielSlocum Metioned it earlery about him having a bad grommet causing him fits too. in post #7
this time when it started messing up I was...
HI, yes I have a 1" adapter square bore carb to spread bore intake.. can't go any taller or my filter nut is into the hood. its already into the insulation material.
Whats a good idle timing setting.. the hood card says TDC at 750. but I do have upped the cam (See above for spec.). I did just...
hi,
yeah, No fuel running out of the carb, just smells very rich when its not running right..
I wiggled all the vacuum lines with no change even the booster line and PCV line.
Since the plugs are all white .. I'm thinking its not flooding but maybe not firing on all 8 sometimes. The problem...
HI,
Now that may be a possibility ... I have noticed a weird noise once in a while when applying the brakes??? and once my pedal was VERY hard.. I'll check that out
Thanks,,
take care be safe

HI,
Thanks for the reply.. Sorry its a 318.
I'm not totally sure its timing. I'll check thru it tomorrow. its been running fine with no problems for a few years (daily driver) .. Could be distributor related since the plugs are white even tho it runs and smells pig rich sometimes .. its very...
HI All.
HI, OK..
first question.. if I only have 12ins of vacuum would a 6.5 Power valve cause flooding at idle??
Second,
I've had it rebuilt by a carburetor shop. having a problem with it flooding occasionally and doesn't seam to clear out once flooded and runs pig rich.. Floats are set to...
HHHMMM I did tell him it starts FINE cold with one pump.. the problem is getting it moving (I did say no fuel shot is how it acts) but that was after its running I get the problem stalling out to move the car (I did say rap but actually I just have to wiggle (play with it) the throttle a couple...
Ok just talked to Mike at Holley and He first suggested not enough fuel but I told him the bowls are always full per sight 1/2 glass then he suggested i go up on the nozzle size he suggested the 28.. I mentioned the video suggesting two sizes and he said I guess you could go to the 31.. But I...
I don't have to beat on it just work it a couple of times (just as long as I work the pump it well clear up in a few wiggles. Just went out and with the nozzle out I moved the throttle very little (not wanting to pop the seat rod out) and the nozzle port filled up , but there was a little delay...
Thats where I'm having the problem after its running it starts fine cold with one pump but after the car is running to get it moving I have to play with it a few times or it well stall out but after that its fine till I park it for like 30 mins..
thanks take care be safe
tim
Then What is??
it works fine after that first start where I have to rev it a little just to work the accelerator pump or after is sits for like 30 mins. Carb is less than a year old run no leaded gas. Daily driver. Starts right up cold with one pump. but when I start driving it I have to work...
HI it works fine after that first start up each time if I wined it up a couple of times (the first time) .. I watch a couple of video (one a Holley ) saying to check the adjustments and go up 2 nozzle sizes if car is heavy.. yeah its a boat.. I pulled the nozzle out and its the smallest .25 ...
