Holley advice; My new 600 holley was missing the secondary metering plate (not a metering block) so when I pulled the bowl all that was visible was a blue gasket there should have been a plate over that. It did just what you are speaking of and it gets worse if you try to push it past it. I added a metering plate and all was clear.. Hope this helps.. If this is not the case you may also want to check out your power valves they blow easily..
