We have a Holley 86670 to offer.
The carb ran fine for about 2 1/2
years then started to flood the engine.
What we found was a microscopic hole
in the float. How small? Took 2 1/2
years to absorb enough gas so it no
longer "floated". How did we find the
hole?, put the float in some hot water
and waited for a bubble to form, it took
a while. All the float needs is dab of
solder in the right spot. Also comes with
rebuild kit never opened. We had to take
the float bowl apart to find the leak.
