Hi All,
Quick question.As you all know I replaced my stock carb and intake with Edelbrock parts.Yesterday I removed the edelbrock carb and put on my older Holly carb.Car cranks ,but no start.Fuel is getting into carb,but carb isnt doing its job making the car start.Any ideas what would cause the
carb not to make the fuel not pump.

Dirty or clogged .

Hmm,
Carb has been sitting for a few months.Any suggestions what may be clogged?

i would consider a complete rebuild ..especially like you say , it has been sitting for a while....what's wrong with the edelbrock carb?..

Just take carb cleaner and spray it in every passage way. Your jets may be clogged too. If it's not pumping, you may have a cracked diaphragm on the accelerator pump. Pull it off and inspect it

just pulled the carb off my intake.tried pumping fuel with lever,and it was squirting out jets.So, i know the jets are working.

Is it running good now ?

Not really.I have been playing around wit idle and mixture this morning.I am almost there.
I just posted a new thread about my temp gauge not working.I had originally installed a edelbrock carb( i couldnt use it cause i dont have the mechanical advance dist) so i took it off.It was working when that was installed.I saw my gauge move.I have the cccarb on the camaro.I just noticed this morning that when i remove the sending unit,my rpms shoot up.any ideas?
