In this video, RacingJunk contributor Wayne Scraba walks you through setting and fine-tuning the floats on a common Holley carburetor.
Make sure to check out Wayne’s quick-and-easy tutorial in the video below! He doesn’t just tell you, but shows you how to set the floats to perfection.
To begin with, set your carb in a safe area with good ventilation and something to catch any fuel which exits the float bowl. Check to see if your floats are center or side hung.
Seems it is flooding (getting too much fuel).
Check the pressure of the fuel pump assuming you have one. New pumps are especially suspect. Some have gravity fed carburetors, but they usually have a tendency to run lean, not rich.
Fuel could be leaking around the seat. Check carefully for any cracks. Make sure you installed the gasket. Also check to make sure the old gasket wasn’t left.
Make sure he float isn’t hanging up somehow and not closing the needle.
Be sure not to put pressure on the needle when adjusting the float. The viton tip can easily be damaged.
Clean the viton tip with mineral spirits by wiping off with a paper towel until you don’t get any black on the towel.
Wipe the needle viton tip with mineral spirits. That might help it from sticking. more
My thoughts on this….the 2 electrical things that can heat up an short out are the coil and the condenser. Even new ones. I would run it until it dies then check for spark, if that’s ok then remove carb drain plug and see if there is fuel in the carb. (may be a restriction in the shut off or fuel bowl assy. only allowing a trickle of fuel
Is there a jet that the main adjustment rod fits into? Referring to the 3″ or so adjustment needle that is used on the B type.
Your vehicles carburetor float is a vital part of the fuel system. It is the gauge which tells your carburetor how much fuel it needs and when it needs it. As you depress the gas pedal, fuel is sucked out of the carburetor reservoir which causes the carburetor float to drop. As the float drops, it opens the needle valve and allows more fuel to enter the reservoir. When you let up on the gas pedal, you decrease the demand for fuel which has a chain reaction. Fuel is no longer sucked out, which causes the float to return to its normal position and closes the needle valve, shutting off the flow of fuel until it is needed again. All of this can happen within fractions of a second.
Locate the fuel reservoir tank on your carburetor and remove the bowl by unscrewing it from the top of the reservoir with a screwdriver. Carefully pour the fuel that is in the reservoir into a gas can. more
Remove the bolts that are holding the carburetor to the engine and take the carburetor out of the engine. Lay the carburetor out on top of your work space.
