Thread: carb trouble

    Default carb trouble

    I just got done rebuilding my holley 1920. It is very hard to start and it won't idle. It runs good when your pumping or holding in a little on the petal. But when you let off it just dies and then its hard to start again. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

    Did you set the float level as per the instructions.

    Something I just found out. The pump gasket is diffirent from the original. Mine original had the hook on the end and one that come in the kit is round doesn't have the hook. But I cut off the hook and welded it on the end of the new and it worked pretty good. i would show yall a pic, but my camera is on the friz. I don't think the gasket holes are lining up right.
