nurkvinny Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Are all 8 plugs black? Are they wet as well? Dirt in the needle and seat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Are all 8 plugs black? Are they wet as well? Dirt in the needle and seat? This is a common problem on Holley based carbs. Also make sure the float level is set properly. Eric if you are still having problems, give me a buzz. I could easily swing by one night after work.

Buckeye1647545503 Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Eric that carb was FUCKED for as much fuel as it was dumping it ran ok. Finish the rebuild and get back with us. PS if I were you I would have a carb guy go through it and make sure it is rite. Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTHER91 Posted July 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 fireing order was off but i still need to put diff jets in it (fronts are 74 from quick fuel it has 80's in it) and it dosnt seem to idle below 1500 rpms so besides the jets and having someone adjust the floats and idle air screws im at a loss so it is now a carb issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
