Default holley power vavles

Hi guys,

My 71 LT-1 sneezed yesterday, and now gas just runs out of the nozzle on the secondary side on my stock 4150 Holley.I believe the power vavle went south.
Does anyone know if the holley power vavle "saver" works?


Thanks,
John


Thanks guys,
Upon further inspection I see gas still inside the floatbowl from the side inspection hole.
I must have a sticking needle and seat. Thanks "motorhead".

It does not work very well. I have had to replace mine on the primary side 3 times in 5 years. When I get a big "sneeze" it usually blows. I do not have a PV on the secondary side of my 4150 750 DP.

If it's leaking out of the squirter take the needle and seat out and inspect it and blow it out with compressed air
