Don't ever use those silly bypass caps in the help section of the parts store to cap a hose fitting. Use a bolt ,piece of hose and a clamp. Sure they look better ,but give em 6mo and they crumble in your hand. Damn things piss me off as a gen tech because psi engines come with em from the factory. Replace em at startup ,or in 6mo when it blows and sprays coolant all over.

@briang4470 Год назад

If you have a Holley carb on anything, a car,truck,boat,etc.. it's always a really good idea to look at the carb from time to time and constantly check for leaks and check for any deteriorating o rings, accelerator pumps or fuel line, it's best to catch the leak before it happens so you don't burn your ride down, holleys always seem to have a bad habbit of springing massive leaks at the worst possible times. That's why for most daily driver, low performance vehicles, I always opt for a rochester or afb style carb Soo much more reliable and less likely to start leaking. I have seen quadrajets that were over 40+ years old that have never been apart that have zero leaks, can't say the same for a Holley they always leak.

A tech tip from one of the magazines back in the day, for standard holley gaskets if you coat them with cherry chapstick they don't stick.

@GaryH-pw9cm 3 месяца назад

Back in 1975 I had a Holley 600 on a 65 Mustang. it was not unusual to be driving along and suddenly smell gasoline, pull over, open the hood to find the crossover pipe O rings leaking. But I always had a box of Holley gaskets and parts in the trunk so remove the float bowl and replace the O rings and continue on. Oh, the joys of owning a Holley. 😊

@JFSmith-nb8hf Год назад

You hit the nail right on the head. If you want peak performance, run a Holly, if you don't want to be constantly messing with it, run a Carter / Edelbrock. I've had Carters that sat for five or six years and fired and run like a champ.

@bruceabbott3941 Год назад

Back in the day, I was a member of our local volunteer fire department, which was equipped with hand-me-down Ford C-cab fire trucks with gas V-8s. The Holley carbs on those engines gave us fits, since the trucks sat so much. Even worse, our old firehouse was so small that we could not raise the cabs to access the engine inside the house. Don't miss those days! Rochester Quadrajets get a lot of grief, but I would store boats with them on 305 and 350 GM engines for 6 months at a time, and they would fire up and run fine. Thanks for the video, Uncle Tony!

@godsowndrunk1118 Год назад

I've torn new transfer tube o-rings when replacing them, so I always lube them before inserting the tube into the back float bowl.

@gcaprice406 Год назад

I learned that Teflon tape lesson the hard way. As a young lad, I Teflon taped the shit out of some fuel lines, and some of the tape worked its way into the carburetor, and got stuck in the needle and seat. Had to nurse the car back home and was driving myself crazy figuring out the problem, but then I showed it to my father, who, of course could tell what was going on right away.

@JoesMoparMess Год назад

Thank you UTG, just got my car back from a classic car shop and they couldn’t use my Holley 850 because it was leaking gas everywhere and they recommended I buy a new one. Luckily I had a new in the box edelbrock they were willing to throw on the car. I took back the Holley and was going to do a full rebuild but now I will just start with new o rings.

@scotthatch4548 Год назад

One thing you missed talking about is that some Holley carbs use a rubber bushing of a sort on the transfer tube as opposed to o-rings and that when putting on the transfer tube to spray the oring with silicone spray so it slides in and does not roll

@ohm1945 Год назад

Always had Holleys, most of which are as Tony said, the 600cfm vac secondary square bore (4160 if I recall correctly). Only months ago, got hold of a used 625cfm Street Demon. Sure, more fine tuning with metering rods, vacuum springs and the like , but no leaks due it’s bowl design. Better for a cruiser or mild street car I’m told but I think the large secondary barrel is ideal for WOT launches. Barry Grant got it right on that front.

@renaissanceman4054 Год назад

I've had those miserable things leak everywhere. Around the bottom bolts holding on the bowl, transfer tube, around the needle/seat. I got tired of messing with them and got edelbrock/carters instead, they've been perfect

@MoparMan-ff8fb Год назад

Tony - didnt know if you already knew this ? but you can buy an assorted clear box of green O rings used for AC in vehicles from harbor frieght along with a box assorted black rubber O rings . the Orings come in sizes small enough to fit the holly parts . they will with stand gases and other chemicals and temps

@matthewsmith6486 Год назад

I've been messing with Holley carbs for 40 plus years too! I used to have boxes of them under the bench. People would get fed up with them and just give them to me! Personally I love Holley carbs. Anyway you're spot on. The first start up of the year I always leave the hood up for awhile and check to see if there are any leaks. If there are leaks I fix them and that is usually the end of the problems for a couple of years. Great video.

@JacksoNR26 4 месяца назад

So your saying that the o rings and gaskets last for 2 years

@bobbyz1964 Год назад

Had Holley four barrels on a couple of old medium duty trucks until the early 2,000s. Those trucks sat more than they ran, all winter, six months up here. Even after Minnesota went to ethanol in the 90s I really didn't have trouble with them leaking. Sure occasionally I'd replace an O ring but it wasn't like an every spring ritual. I'd say it's definitely the O rings today, no idea if there's still US Made ones available today. You can bet the ones at Autozone or whatever aren't made in the States.

@roflman Год назад

The leaky transfer tube got me for a while, because by the time you shut the car off and lean over to have a look, the fuel has dribbled down around the pump diaphram and you think you've got a bad pump shot. (btw the teflon tape does work well temporarily on the transfer tubes if you don't have an oring handy, seals well for a few weeks before the gas melts it)

@sewing1243 Год назад

If anyone is tempted to use a teflon tape then at least buy the fuel rated version: yellow PTFE tape The plain white teflon PTFE tape is best used for water and it does not have resistance to chemical compounds (like gasoline). The yellow PTFE tape will work for household plumbing (but a roll of the yellow costs twice as much as the white tape).

@ClaremontClassicGarage Год назад

Don't forget the well seals on TQs !

@brianbrigg57 Год назад

I've never used a Holley carb with the transfer tube but I think that if I had problems with leaks there I would look at drilling and tapping each side for a hose barb fitting then running some high quality fuel line between them. Problem solved.

@Carstuff111 Год назад

I honestly do mean this, every time I watch this channel, it makes me consider more and more going with carburetors on my Honda. I know people are going to laugh at that, but a 1989 Honda CR-X that was B18 swapped (1.8 Liter DOHC 4 cylinder) running a ported VTEC head, 13.5:1 compression, TODA VTEC killer cams (insanely aggressive cams), and SS Works' own carburetors made 230 horsepower and set a lap record in the early 2000s around Tsukuba Racing Circuit of 59.1 seconds. Honda engines love individual throttle body setups and individual carb setups.....and if I really wanted to go for an all out build, carbs would ironically be easier to deal with than individual throttle body tuning.

@thomasharvanek2411 Год назад

Great stuff as always UT Additionally, one needs to seat the xfer orings with a little spin, pushing each way, and finally centering the tube between the bowls, verses mash together and hope. A little Silicon grease too

@outlawbillionairez9780 Год назад

Common o-ring material is buna-n rubber. Get viton o-rings instead. More temp and chemical resistant, tougher too. I'll bet you never replace them.

They are sneaking more an more ethanol in fuel that isn't even supposed to have ethanol content, so I am going to spend the money and get the version with the proper parts and seals so I dont end up having a leaking or gummed up carb down the road

@GaryH-pw9cm 3 месяца назад

I remember back in the 80s when they changed the fuel to the new blend. I was going through fuel pumps like crazy. The diaphragms would turn to mush. I took a while before manufactures came up with rubber diaphragms that would not fall apart and leave you stranded.

I have three 2300's sitting on my 351C. It will usually last a winter or two before it starts to leak. I just replace the needle assemblies instead of trying to put in a new gasket (didn't realize that was a option). Also, check the power valve. The rubber on it can deteriorate too if it gets dry too many times! Great video as always.

@robertrio1164 Год назад

Fumny I rebuilt my 25 yr old 750 double pumper for first time last year. Can't say I had any leaks besides fuel bowl which were fixed by tightening the screws. Granted my GTO only gets driven 500 or so miles a year but it sits most the winter without running. Always found it very reliable and prefer Holleys to the Qjet for ease of starting. I don't even use the choke and it fires up easily. I also have a 750 vac secondary which has been sitting for years. I bet that would leak like a sieve though, so I need to rebuild it for a back up.

When I was a young man I put those Holley 600's on every small block V8 I had that had stock or mild cams. They were half the cost of the 780 and a third the cost of the double pumper 750 and often my local speed shop had them on sale for $50-$70. I had more than one come fresh out of the box with that transfer tube leaking. I think if I were doing it today and wanted to buy new I'd get the Edelbrock 600, or maybe the Brawler 600 with the mechanical secondaries, it has no transfer tube.

@23Roadster1 10 месяцев назад

Tony, if you have access to "bulk" O rings (Amazon; only the black Buna, dirt cheap), the # 009 ( universal numbering system ) fits the Holley transfer tubes and the seats. Also, even with the blue non stick gaskets, they peel a lot easier with a light spray of silicone or WD at each install.

Even "the good old rubber" goes bad with modern gas. The alcohol (and the additives that keep it with gas for few months) make the rubber swell and harden. When there is no gas they shrink back, but as they are now hard, they do not seal any more. I talked to a guy that has sold carb rebuild kits for 30 years, and he told that with the old leaded gas carbs lasted easily 30-40 years without problems, now about 3-5. Happy guy, as his business got boost...

@olddonn Год назад

Biggest leak issue I've had with my old Holley 4160 is with the non-adjustable needle & seat plugs on top of the bowls. The plugs will leak, not a question of if, but when. A little JB Weld or Seal-All will stop the leak, but at some point, the bowls will have to be replaced since replacement plugs aren't available. Did that job over the winter.

@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542 Год назад

Suggestion: I have been swapping out all such O-rings on all my equipment with those green air conditioner type O-rings. While I can not promise this will fix the problem, I do find that in my situation, they seem to last longer and fit better, preventing leaks, thus far, without any other modifications to anything.

The problem is when they change the composition of chemicals at the pump without telling anyone .Back in the late 80's they changed the blend in premium gas and I had a new Holley spread bore melt the bowl gaskets with Holley have no fix to replace those gaskets yet . Saw 3/8 Fi line burst after melting from some new additives to pump gas and had 2cycle gas lines leak when using regular 2cycle oil with 10 % ethanol gas. They keep messing with blending of fuels without any warning . How many engines got ruined when the took the fines out of Motor Oils without warning ?

@sydrider6023 Год назад

The accelerator pump cap will also get distorted with time and will leak. Not a flood leak but will create a yellow varnish on stuff under it associated with this slow leak. They can be sanded flat and reinstalled.

My first 4 bbl Holley was a 600 Vacuum secondary bought as a new in the box from a guy on offer up . The guy tried to tell me it was a 650 but i knew it was a 600 . I did not look at it very good and they had changed the squirter to a 28 and the rear float had a old needle and seat that got stuck down and tuning it was a booger since it was lean there and I jetted it up really high till I figured out what it was . Only good thing was it has the new style transfer tube seals the cup style liking those although I will never buy another used one again without looking really good .

@robertwest3093 Год назад

Those blue reusable gaskets for the Holley bowl and metering block are one of the best upgrades you can do with a Holley. In fact Holley should be ashamed for not selling every new carburetor with the blue gaskets installed. They would have less returns.

@GaryH-pw9cm 3 месяца назад

Yes but when the first come out in the 80s they had some sort of glue that would bond the metering blocks and float bowl together. Taking one of these carburetors apart was a chore without wrecking the carburetor. Holley finally stopped doing this as people started to complain about it.

@jackinthebox6143 9 месяцев назад

Also the accelerator pump diaphragm (?). They go rock hard in no time. Theyve brought in a new one made of something greeny bluish that's supposed to last. Online they were charging $50 each!! I think vaseline helps these things last but I may be wrong. It just seems to stop them drying out.
