spooge Jul 15th, 02, 05:57 AM just rebuilt my 4150 650cfm. basiclly cleaned, and replaced all gaskets. fired up the car, and i can't get it to idle. just wondering if maybe the floats were set too low it would cause this? (fuel level was 1/8" below the sight holes.) DjD Jul 15th, 02, 06:14 AM Float level should be set so bumping the fender causes a dribble but running, nothing spills out. Do your idle mixture screws effect a change when you open or close them? ------------------ ...Dennis "The '69 (http://chevelles.com/showroom/ww.jpg), the '96 (http://www.camaroslimited.com/graphics/memcars/96ss.jpg) & the club (http://camaroslimited.com/)" spooge Jul 15th, 02, 07:52 AM I screw'd them out 3-4 turns with no result. kwissman Jul 15th, 02, 10:17 AM Spooge, Check your gasket between the baseplate and the main body. The holley rebuild kits come with several ones. One will work and the other will block the idle feed holes. I know this from experience. The gasket should have a hole for every hole in the baseplate and body that connect through the gasket. ------------------ Kent 67 SS 427 spooge Jul 15th, 02, 01:55 PM i was thinkin the same thing, but wasn't sure if the gasket would cause the problem. i found the original, and one of the leftovers from the kit, that match'd. looks like i used the wrong gasket. i'll post results later inm the week, sincee i keep the car 30miles away from home, and i have lots a work. Thanks for the replies/help ! spooge Oct 8th, 05, 05:40 AM sorry for the Very late response It was the wrong gasket Was a drinker back then | ||
