Holley Carb Wont Idle? Check This! | Holley Carb Secrets, Tips And Tricks |

Today we are going over an often overlooked part that can get accidentally installed during a carburetor rebuild. Since the 650 and 750 series of carburetors, the base plates can be interchanged but sometimes do not cooperate as well as we would have liked them to. The part in question is the base plate gasket that sits in between the carburetor main body as the throttle plate. Installing the wrong gasket or mis matching the carburetor parts can cause the carburetor to not be able to idle or at the very least, idle very poorly.

mine wont idle, revs fine and wot sound good. I didn’t touch it at all. So far done fuel pump filters and plugs. Carb is 600cfm like 7 years old, hasn’t skipped a beat til now

I would take it apart, clear out all the passages with carb cleaner and make sure none of the holes are blocked. Fresh gasket set and then reassembled

Got one brand new out of the box won’t idle you think factory may have done this

[@NightWrencher]

Normally carburetors don't idle right out of the box. I always reset the idle and then tune it myself.

Things to always check that take only a minute or two.
1. Fuel pressure. 7ish lbs is what you need here. You get up around 9-10 and you might over fuel the motor by the pump pushing fuel past needle and seat.
2. Float level. Make sure your float level is right.
3. If equipped adjust the choke properly.
