Default Re: Starved For Fuel?

[ QUOTE ]
First:

What Eric said: "Next, check/replace the fuel filters in the float bowls." No one on here knows Holley carbs better than Eric.

Then, what Eric said next:

"If the car sits for extended periods, you might check to see if the sock in the fuel tank is getting clogged or varnished up."

It is a classic case of fuel starvation. Replace fuel filters first.

At the recommendation of the performance shop I deal with, I removed the filters and am running without them for testing purposes.
