I just recently put a fresh rebuilt 650- DP on my 351W...I have a Holley Red external pump mounted in the rear...it runs to a holley regulator....then I have a pressure gauge and I would say I had about 7 lbs to the carb...it ran well for a while...now I can hear gas trickling into the carb...then flooding all over the manifold...do you think 7lbs is too much for the carb??...I will also be replacing the regulator...it wouldn't adjust down to anything lower than 7lbs...took it apart and found damage there too...........thoughts??

 

sounds like a bunk regulator call chad.

 

THATS WHAT I THINK...BUT CAN I BLOW OUT THE CARB WITH TOO MUCH PRESSURE?? WTF YOU DOING IN DALLAS?

 

work. i'm sick of living above my means so it's all or bust at this point.

 

WORD.....good luck.let us know when your back.

 

I think the red pump only put out 7 psi, so I could be wrong but I dont think you need to use a regulator with with the red pump. 7 psi isnt to much for that carburator either.

 

sounds like your floats are sticking to me, tap the tops of the bowls with the handle of a screw driver.

 

fucker is rebuilt....ican litterally hear gas dripping into the carb...so I didn't start it......floats??

 

Might have to adjust the floats, you should have two sight plugs on the side of the bowls. They make nice clear ones also, just take out the plugs (unscrew) while pump is running and the fuel should be right at the base of the hole. A little bump on the fender and it should trickle out a bit. Now try it with the car running to make sure again. If its coming out the plug then you need to adjust the floats. Easy, the top screw adjusts the float up or down and the nut keeps it locked. Make sure gauge is good 7 to 7 1/2 is about max for a Holley, I ran 6 1/2 with a blue pump and made sure it never dropped below about 4 pounds in high gear.

 

Hey you do have a filter right?
