Hey guys, My Holley 650cfm dp 6210 spread bore was damaged before i got a chance to install it.. There was a impact and the choke flap doesent seal\close properly but does move freely. there is also a small plastique lever for the choke assembly that has a small peice broken off. would it be possible to take the choke flap off and still run the carb with no choke? (i really dont know much about carbs) thanks !

 

You can run without a choke, probably depends on your climate. I don't have mine connected, a couple of pumps on the throttle and a few minute warming up is all you need. I see you're in Canada, might take a bit of warming up during the winter

 

I only use this car in summer so shouldent be a problem, so if I take off the choke assembly it won't affect anything else on the carb? I think my rochesters secondairies work with the choke??

 

I've never actually seen a spreadbore holley, that thing will probably have great off idle torque!

 

Heres what it looks like from under!

 

I run a Quick Fuel dbl pumper with no choke. I don't drive it during the winter so starts in the summer are no problem. If you just drive it during the summer then take the choke off.

 

Ok thanks! tried the carb on works great, didnt try it on the streets yet through. for the mixture screws is it 2 1\2 turns each?

 

Start at 1-1/2 turns out and adjust from there.

I ran one of those on the Camaro a couple of summers ago. Since it is made for divorced choke (thermostat mounted on the intake manifold and linked to the carb), and I couldn't find a proper thermostat for it and the ZZ4 intake I'm running, I ran with it tied open. Even in the summer, it was a pain to have to allow it to warm up every time I got in it to go somewhere. In comparison, putting the stock q-jet back on was a like dream come true.
