Title: Carb. help
Post by: jjpp250 on June 11, 2008, 08:59:25 PM
 I just put new re-built kit a my holly 850, Now when I turn on the fuel pump, fuel pours out it sec. overflow and under the shooters. The pri. is fine. I turn my float all the way down i thought it would help. Could it be the check valve under the acc. pump. I din't bent the bar because it was working fine before. Any body know what I'm not seeing?

When mine did that is was the float setting.  I adjusted the float level until the fuel just came to the bottom of the bowl check screw.  If this isnt it maybe the float needle assembly has debris or is not connected properly?

That would do the same thing, if the float don't float >:D  it will just keep dumping gas until it SHOOTS out of the vent tubes (dont ask me how I knowthis >:D)

 Great I got it, That damn spring on the pivot got bound some how. I pulled the plugs to see if thay had any fuel in them, The back cylds. shot out a 50.00 worth of gas 100 foot I would say,
 Thanks for your input I have to go spray off some stuff.
