Default Carb rebuild

Well I finally rebuilt the Holley 3310 double pumper. Everything went pretty good, I thought.
Still hesitated :mad took it apart and found I had the accel pump spring in the wrong way :bb
Fixed it and now she flys. First time I ever rebuilt a carb.
If I can do it....Anyone can!!!

Thanks for all the help and advice
Pat

On the 1st rebuild of a swap meet carb, i put a kit in it. Then about 8 years later i just change the acc pumps and power valve. They are about the only parts to fail for a real long time. Just a tip for the future. :cheers:

I have rebuilt two QJets with great results. It's not black magic like everyone thinks.
