HELP High pitched whistle during idle
I seem to be having a high pitched whistle or sqeak at idle speeds emminating from my carbrator, which is a holley RB modded 465cfm. The Air pump has been removed and Its not my single belt running alt, and water.
It started when I was adjustng the carb before it was warm, so it seemed to turn on when my choke flapper opened?
I have to try this experiment again. anyone ever had this happen to them?
It really loud and my ears are still ringing.

If sufficiently torqued, there may be a flatness issue, so go to a thicker gasket materials or carefully use sealant making sure not to overdo it.

if it is a new setup it may take time for the gaskets to seat. i just rebuilt my carb and over the last day or two i have had to tighten the screws more. if this is a intake leak it would make perfect since on why you cant idle below 2k.. give it a go and let us know

Ok where are the bullets for my gun I need to shoot myself in the head!
I Remember now I was installing my intake and got it on and tightened the two upper outside nuts then went to lunch.
Well I forgot to fully tighten the lower ones so there was a turn or so on them still.
Went away car idles fine 1250 rpm no hesitation.
Thanks I was really not thinking.
