carb problems.

[PiercedJD]

I have a jeep with a 327 sbc and holley 650 4 bbl. got a rebuild kit for it a while back because the rear float bowl was fuel starving and front bowl was flooding. I would be climbing a hill and as you all would figure either starve or flood and die out and have to roll back to level ground and restart the jeep. sucked royally. got that fixed and readjusted the floats but now theres no fuel to the jets.

I keep hearing my first mistake was using a holley carb yadda yadda and I should have gotten a carter or whatever carb is favored by the person I am talking to. anyway I am wondering if any of you are familiar with holleys so I can get this beast back up and running or If I would be better going with another carb setup.

any help is appreciated

u might need a elctric fuel pump or floats could be stuck to un stick the floats tap on them with a screwdriver or something......fuel inj. is a good but pricy solution

yeah if I could find a late model F.I. setup in a junkyard reasonabley priced I would definitely do it. much better for off roading not relying on float bowls at strange angles.

the fuel pump is a new mechanical and working fine. carbuerator is just a little on the old side may just pick up a new edelbrock 650 or something theyre not too bad anymore 2-300 bucks. just looking to see if there was an easy way to fix it before I spent anymore money on an offroad toy

Holley sells those basic stand-alone Projection throttle-body type F.I. units pretty cheap.

Assuming everything is properly adjusted on your carb. and your filter is clean you may want to run a regulator to increase the fuel pressure a bit. Do you have a mechanical or electric fuel pump? An electric pump may be a bit more consistent for your rock climbing needs.

new mechanical pump I may just switch to a electrical based on what you said since electrical also offers the same output regardless of engine rpms. I have a regulator to adjust the pressure with already. definitely scrapping this carb though.....

just go get a quadrajet carb. they are great for wheeling. i put one on my wheeling pig and had no carb pukeing after that. The float bowls are set up differently.
