Holley Carb. trouble....eeek !
Ok, for the past year everything's been good - Holley 750 silver series w/vacuum secondaries.....
....then the front float bowl stuck on me. Anyone have tips on how to adjust the float level properly without squirting gas all over the place ?!? :confused:
It's running fine now but it probably has 'room' for improvement... I had to tear into it twice last night and set the float with the front half off the carb. :eek: ....oh by-the-way, the 'other' bowl had a 'stripped' float shaft and that was off the 'newer' carb - gee, thanx Holley :(

Re: Holley Carb. trouble....eeek ! (verskel)
I have a holley 650DP that when we got it new, had metal shavings in it. :( That thing stuck the needle three times on me. Once it was pulled, gutted, totally cleaned, and rebuilt (by my mechanic) we have not had any problems since.
Could be a possibility... Good luck.

I haven't seen anything over in Southwest section yet. I think it is going to rain. I do not have anything else going on so could go if there is going to be some activity. :)
