Holley vaporizer adjustment

Post by Larry e rutt » Fri Mar 15, 2019 7:33 pm

Does that look like the right float adjustment for my holley vaporizer ? I am having trouble running out the prime, so I thought I should check the fuel level in my carb..

Larry

your question is kind of cryptic, but I am going to go out on a limb and say that based on the existing float, you are running the fuel too high, and also that you are running the wrong float altogether. Take a look at this: http://www.mtfca.com/cgi-bin/discus/sho ... st=1013819

Your right... my old thicker float was cracked.. the venders dont sell the float for the vaporizer, I was told from langs it would work.. I guess I'll take your advice and lower the level and see what happens.

Or would some of this stuff seal a crack in my old bigger float ?

No, that and all silicone products react to gasoline.

So I adjusted my fuel level down and it did a bit better.. of course it was warmer today .. I think I'll take it down a little more and see what happens.
