Default Re: Float gauge for Holly 1901 carb

I am currently running 54's, as they are supposed to be appropriate for 5,000-10,000 ft. Most of the car shows and cruses are in Denver - 5,280 ft. Coming home from Denver involves a 13 mile section that you climb over 3,000 ft. I have jet sizes down to 49, if I need them.

I am really hoping that correcting the flooding issue, that I have confirmed, will solve the issue. Snow for the next three days.

You are right, modern EFI, is a great advantage in our daily cars (Jeep and Mini Cooper).

I read other postings about compression after a new build. Altitude makes a big difference. What most would consider a worn out engine, is the compression for a new rebuild at this altitude.
