Holly G Carburetor Mixture Setting

Post by bnold5000 » Tue Jun 07, 2022 8:32 am

Does anyone know what setting I should use for the initial mixture control setting on this Holly G carburetor? The rod that controls it was binding and in the process of fixing that, I stupidly forgot to note the exact setting before I started messing with it.

Generally the setting for initial would be 7/8 to 1 turn out from close.

Lots depends on the condition of the carb, try this initial, if trouble running, then turn out (more rich) by 1/4 turns of the knob
