Tonite my carb caught on fire again. The first carb... the Edelbrock caught fire. Now the Holley does. I think I might have flooded it because the car just wouldnt start and I was pumping it and keep it WOT quite a bit. Then I see smoke from under the hood. Flames were coming out of both fuel bowl vent tubes. I wish I still had FI.... the price you pay for power lol

 

I think it's the person behind the wheel if 2 carbs have now caught fire

 

Stay away from us! We have enough smoke in the air as it is!

What are you doing for fuel delivery? Are you over-pressurizing the inlets?

I've only been doing this for a little over 30 years, but I've never caught a carb on fire. Perhaps I'm not trying hard enough.

 

check your timing.. .. it may be a lil late.
pumping the gas repeatedly is generally pretty unnecesarry on a well set up motor with a holley

 

PK is right. Even my dominator-fed car only takes one half pump.
check your timing and valve lash.
