drippy second venturis
guys,
just took the vette out tonight after fitting headers and exhaust,
decided to look under the bonnet while it was running,
took the air filter off and the secondary venturies were dripping about every second,
i checked the float levels last week and they were fine,
could they have altered or could this be something else,
it's a pretty new holley 600 with vacuum secondaries,
thanks guys,
neil

Re: drippy second venturis (camaroneil)
Could be a piece of dirt under the needle seat. If everything checks out there ,then make sure your secondary throttles are adjusted 1/2 turn off being seated in the bores before readjusting the float again
Setting the secondary throttle stop will help stabilize the float level and assure fresh fuel being kept in the bowl. LOL

11 out of 10 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it's a brand new carb, only done about 30 mins of work,
it was a small flake of aluminium stuck under the needle seat,
thanks again,
