It's an ignition timing issue, not the carb.

3810 holley
Need some help with a 3810 holley --- just had it rebuilt by Bob Kuns
when i got it back I installed it on the car 67 L79 - runs great but occasionally
on a restart (engine warm)pops through the carb ... any cures for this condition ???
Thank you once again for any help

Just had my 3810 rebuilt by Oles carb in San Bruno, took John Zs advice on how to adjust the air fuel mixture, runs like a champ, and my hat goes off to Oles Carb for doing a wonderful job on the rebuild, that does sound like a timing issue. Ditch

Thanks John, as always, perfect answer with a picture.
One more question. What are the circles on the tops of the fuel bowls? Mine are epoxied shut and look like little shiney hockey pucks compared to yours.
What do those circles do?

Thanks John. Not sure what to do with mine. I don't know if it is worth a few hundred dollars to get mine "un-epoxy-ed" for just 4 judging points or not.
I'll see if I can pick up those points elsewhere and then see how bad I need them.
