While the car is stationary for paint, I want to send the carb out to get looked at. I installed a new needle and seat and have played with the float level but the motor seems to run like it has too high a float level whenever I start it up. I am wondering if it is warped or possibly just assembled wrong. I am also experiencing a real bad flat spot from idle. Almost like what you get when you overide the vac secondaries. I had installed a rebuild kit last fall and never really got it correct, it seems to be even worse now since I went to the roller cam which may be aggravating the problem or may just be coincidental.

FYI - carb is a 770 Street Avenger.

Any suggestions?

Our club uses Chris Hamlin from Englewood Ohio.
I built a web page for him this year.
He does not do email.

Call his 1-800 number maybe he can help.

Thanks for the info. I suspect this carb has not been correct since last year when I had the carb fire. (Had a backfire with the air cleaner off when I was playing with the timing) I threw a rebuild kit in it, but I think it could use professional attention.

I used Custom Rebuilt Carbs, someone on this site recommend them. www.customrebuiltcarbs.com (http://www.customrebuiltcarbs.com) I think. They are in New Jersey I think.

A poorly trained Borneo oragnutan can rebuild one of those blindfolded with one arm and one leg tied behind its back, in less than five minutes. In fact, it's so easy, even I can do it; in less than an afternoon, maybe, sometimes. The orangutan makes less mistakes than me.

Rebuild it yourself. It's a Holley. The single easiest carb to rebuild on the whole planet.
