Subject: Re: stuck float on Holley
All Fixed. Upon closer inspection I could feel the float rubbing against something part of the time when moving it by hand. Decided I must have bent the float arm a little while working on it as it was rubbing against the housing. A slight bend back and all is well. Appreciate you weighing in.
Mo, I got a flyer in the mail for a car show in Stanton, IA. on June 8th. No entry fee, no prizes, so more of a cruise in. They're going to have free homemade ice cream. It says 2nd annual so they have 1 year under their belt to fix any problems. Not sure if I'll be there, might be in MN. If I'm in town and the weather is decent I may go provided the flooding has subsided and I can get there from here. Contact number for info is: 712-621-6010

Getting the car ready for spring.I had a small fuel leak coming from the from fuel bowl I w3anted to fix. It's a Holley Street Avenger, I think that's a 4160 (?). So I got new gaskets for the fuel bowl and metering block. When I started it I had -fuel pouring out of the vent tube, so i figured dirty needle and seat. Long story short after trying to clean it three times and a new needle and seat the problem persisted. So I made a clear ploy carbonate cover for the fuel bowl so I could see what was happening when I added fuel to the bowl. Found out the float was sticking. Gave it a rap with a screwdriver handle and it bounced up. But every time I tried to repeat it the float would stick. So wondering if a new float is the answer or is it something simpler than that?
