| Post subject: | Holley 2280 carb parts |
Hey guys, I am looking to replace a damaged needle/seat and accelerator pump piston for my 2280 model R-8431. I found replacement parts at carburetor-parts.com but did not see my model # listed. Because my model was not listed I contacted Mike and he says I need a full kit (http://www.carburetor-parts.com/Holley- ... p_797.html) to get the parts I need because the parts I need are not available separately only in the kit and I am wondering about the brand and quality of kit. I only see a couple of hits here on the site for this website, has anyone had experience with Mike and his parts ? Thanks John |

I have had good experience with Mike's Carb's. I ordered a kit and a float and the float was the wrong weight (mixed in the bins I suppose). I had ordered the original kit from WA state to VA and paid for 3 day air shipping. They sent the right float ALSO BY 3 DAY AIR and I did not even ask for the expedited shipping. I was impressed. Parts quality seems good and they tend pack in a few things like some welch plugs that you do not normally get. You can also try Walker and Sorensen (Autozone sells Sorensen, I believe); maybe you can get the part itself from Walker. |

I ordered the kit from Mike and got it the next day being in Bothell, Wa. Unfortunately it was for a Weber carb accidentally picked from stock. I called that day and got the correct kit next day with prepaid postage to return the incorrect kit. In the meantime I pulled the Stromberg WW I had on the car and found that the base of the carb was dented somehow. I realized there was a large vacuum leak causing my idle problems and when I tried to straighten out the base it cracked off the piece so carb is toast. I put the accelerator pump and needle in and took it out and put it on the car and fired it up and good lord it runs so well! I am so happy with it now. Much better power and performance and when I pull up to a stop sign or stop light the car idles wonderfully! I am so dang happy with the way it is running now I could kiss a goat! Now to find a 45° flared 45° elbow 1/8" npt x 5/16" fitting for the other tranny cooler line and get it replaced and go on to the next thing to fix! Cheers. |
