This is a Holley 94 8RT carb on an 8BA flathead. Everything soaked in Berryman, kit from Daytona, and some parts from Charlie Price (PV gasket and jet plug gaskets) Tuned it in and it runs rate at 20” with a steady vacuum needle and it idles really well. First blip on the accelerator and it hesitates a little. It recovers and subsequent blips on the throttle and it has no hesitation at all. It’s just that first blip after it has been on slow idle for a minute or so. Any thoughts on the culprit? I am running jets with “52” stamped in them.
