: Ok, here's the deal... my car was dying out
: while driving, and wouldn't respond after I
: let off the gas and trying to give her
: more... so I traced it to my carb... my
: friend and I too it apart, made sure
: everything looked ok, put new gaskets in and
: the works, put her back on the car and she
: still died out while driving (or wouldn't
: respond like she should)... my neighbor had
: a look at it and said it was my accelerator
: pump... so with the carb rebuild kit that I
: had bought, I took the pump, took the carb
: back apart, and put the new pump in... now
: she's leaking gas out of the rod off of the
: accel pump all over my carb and intake, so I
: took it off tonight, took it apart
: (again!!), and called my neighbor over... he
: looked at it and said it shouldn't be
: leaking... so we put it back together, and I
: put it on, fired the car up and LEAKAGE
: again!!!

: Rebuilding Holley 1 bbls can be a real
: "crap-shoot", I have had great
: working Holleys "go bad" in a day
: and all the rebuilds and head scratching in
: the world would not get them to work right
: again.
: I guess it is due to the sealed metering block,
: if this assembly gets worped or plugged-up,
: there is no good way to fix it short of
: replacement.
:
: As for your leak, your not the first to have
: this trouble, (see the link to an old thread
: about this) You need make sure everything is
: "super clean" and flat. (do a
: trial assemblt without the gasket) Look for
: any signs of uneven clamping and test the
: diaphram it's self.(sometimes they leak
: where the arm attaches, test this with carb
: cleaner on one side, see if it bleeds
: through)
