Re: holley 1bbl carb trouble



What you're describing is the power valve. It needs to be free with no vacuum applied. If it isn't, the car runs poorly. If it isn't working correctly, it will also hurt gas mileage, run over your dog, and steal your favorite CD (leaving the case behind).

Hopefully, you didn't hurt anything. You need to pull it out and check the rod to make sure that it doesn't have a grove in it. If it does, you'll need at least the rod and maybe a metering block if it was damaged (you'll also have to pull the metering block to check it but only do that if the rod is damaged). If you need parts, you'll soon learn that they're hard to come by. I may have an extra metering block and rod laying about (they're very grungy, the car the carburetor came off of sat in out with the hood open and no air cleaner for about 10 years). Let me know if you need them.

Hi folks, does anyone have knowledge of the holley model 1931 carb? I put a rebuild kit in mine last night and everything went smooth but now the car jumps off the line then kinda bogs or starves for gas. one thing that that I did do that could be wrong is when replaceing the accelerator pump diaphram, I noticed on the metering block a rod and spring that pointed into a hole that the main jet entered. THe rod looked like it was supposed to seat into that hole so I pressed the assembly down further until it did seat..now the car runs like crap. What does that part do? is it supposed to be seated? the main jet was a 55 if that matters. thanks for any input.
