Thanks for the info...it makes sense to me. I can blow through the line easily hearing bubbles in the tank. I believe more fuel in the tank and priming the canister will help greatly. Appreciate the input. [QUOTE]
This all depends on where the air bubbles are coming from. If the pickup tube has holed through, you will get air bubbles through that.
How does hearing air bubbles help in determining
the source of the problem?
As far as pouring gas down a dry carb and priming the engine with that, that is not the way to go.
Why not just flick off those sweat droplets from the sticks of dynamite?
A dry Holley is a very dangerous carb to force prime.
First of all, the bowl gaskets dry out and shrink after being exposed to fuel, then let sit to dry out.
Second, the needle and seat will also dry out and take a little time to soften up again after being exposed to new fuel.
That means the carb is very highly likely to flood like Niagara Falls.
Why not just play Russian Roulette with an automatic hand gun?
Sometimes you just have to pull that trigger and see what happens.If we spent our life worrying about what might happen we wouldn't get up in the morning!
I play Russian Roulette all the time.
I know it's coming though and keep ducking?
