I have a holley 600 cfm 1850 list carb. This is a man choke model with the choke not hooked up. When i look down the carb and work the throttle i dont see any fuel but yet i can hit the pedal when on the road and it takes off so i know the acell pump is working. Also when the pedal is all the way to the floor the throttle blades arent at 90 degrees to vertical there more like 75 degrees. Is this right? Thanks
As far as the throttle blade angle, you need to adjust your throttle rod to the carb. I had the same problem when I swapped out my Autolite for a 625 cfm Road Demon with a custom throttle rod. I had to have my wife sit in the car with her foot on the pedal to the floor so I could adjust the lever. Regarding the choke, I hope you at least have the choke plate either removed or wired fully open? You should see fuel shoot out when you work the linkage. Not sure what to tell you about that.
