Since having my holley tunned I've had to bump up my idle on a cold start and turn the fuel mixture screws out about 4 turns to get it to idle when cold. It still takes a bit of accel for about a min to keep it going, then its ok... I'm concerned for 1, that its gonna be running to rich when warm and idling to high; and 2, if my compression was getting low, would it be harder to start when it was warm? It fires right up when its warm. I'll probably end up installing a choke, but before tunning it would start up easier when cold. I know it was running ALOT richer before the tune because I went smaller jets for primary and secondaries to get it to run correctly at high rpm.

What do you holley guys say? Please no hate spam about get a webber. I would love a webber, but for the time being I'm stuck with my holley.

cheers,
heb.

 

ok, wtf happened there!?@# I'm not peteyzoo and I didnt log in as that user. :| o well, the above is actually from me

its just a matter of geting it tuned correctly.. and cleaning the **** out of the carb..

 

*call to carb experts* bump

 

dude, dont worry about the start. you need more gas to keep the carb going when it's cold. all a choke does is force more gas in a sense. i just deal with it. it takes at most, what... 5 minutes? keep it the way it was tuned, if you're getting maximum performance then the hassle of having to give it gas for warm up is worth it.
