If you have gas in any of them. it wouldn't hurt to squirt a small amount of oil down in there so it can coat the walls as the gas will have washed them clean. I am running the high pressure Holly Blue Pump and have to have a regulator. I have a pressure gage mounted on the regulator just in front of the carb., and it only varies when I really get on it. The pressure will drop for a second or so as the opening of the carb. lets more fuel flow. but at a steady driving speed, the pressure should stay at whatever you have it set at. But be sure to check any fuel filters and make sure they aren't plugged. Also check you oil for any signs of gas as a mechanical pump can let gas into the oil if the diaphragm is starting to split.

Ok.... have some updates. It started up after letting sit a couple days and recharging the battery which was run down from starter use i'm guessing. The 2nd 735 Holley is leaking gas when engine is shut off. When i take air cleaner off the inside of carb is soaked with gas and i'm guessing it is flooding engine. There was actually gas dripping out of muffler on passenegr side when i got it started up which i'm guessing is from being flooded. Is there a website where i can get details of adjusting the carbs for proper fuel flow. The engine shop i was going to take it to is so backed up i've been waiting 3 weeks just to try and get an appointment. Still don't have one yet. I can't believe it is running well and then all the sudden it is going nuts on me... how does this happen so quick. Thanks for any help or direction!!!
