Re: [AMC-list] Anybody got a core Holley 1909? Or upgrade? Or rebuilder?

That's a great reminder. Thanks.

I wandered out and checked the carb a little more closely. One of the
screws over the fuel reservoir where the float is was a little lose. I
popped the top off while the carb was still mounted on the intake
plate. The reservoir looked pretty good, but there was a little bit of
dirt in there. Not sure where it came from - but it must have been
from when I ran the tank very low. I cleaned it out a bit - but should
take it off the intake plate and thoroughly clean it.

I can pump the gas and the car starts fine, but stalls. I fiddled with
all the adjusting screws, so probably just need to get them back close
to where they were. The car runs when I have my foot on the peddle
slightly, so it must just be an adjustment out a bit.

After pumping it, starting it, idling it with my foot on the peddle,
and then giving it a little gas to get the revs up - there was no fuel
on the intake plate. So - I'm calling the gas leak fixed, and calling
it user error. Tonight after dinner I hope to get it adjusted back to
where it runs and idles without me keeping my foot on the peddle or
fiddling with the throttle.
