    holley does NOTdribble anymore

    i want to thank the two fellows [you now who you are] that took the time to send me throttle plates for the 1850-2 i was rebuilding. it became obvious that someone had put non-holley primary plates into the carb. well, now it does not dribble any more nad it runs well.
    final thought: by changing form a 750 cfm carb to a 600 cfm carb, I GOT RID OF ANY HINT OF A BOG AT ANY ENGINE SPEED. BYE BOG. I HATED YOU! YOU WILL NOT BE MISSED!

    Holleys can have prostate problems?

    Sorry. As a doctor I just couldn't resist.

      Re: Holleys can have prostate problems?

      i'm glad you didn't resist. that was very funny. just want to add, that in addition to dribbling, the old holley [with prostate problems] can be associatd with the following: running on [lean mixture]; urgency [stuck in office on a warm day]; frequency [when you are doing rejetting etc]; flooding; weak stream [dirty discharge nozzle]; hesitation [the dreaded bog]; trouble getting it up [bad secondary diaphragm]; and finally,... backfire [oh wait, that's not the holley, that's the chili and beer].
