Anyways Ive bought this car 2 months back I guess and was having a hard time getting it going then... it only had 15-20km on the new SP engine... It seemed to keep flooding when trying to start which is a pain in the ***.. It turns out it was a faulty ignitor.. Anyways for the next 2 months ive been throwing tons of goodies on it and I decided to fire it up today since it was nice and I did.. i had my reg set at 6psi for the Holley and that flooded the fuel bowls and follded the car.. so i clicked off the fuel pump and fired it up.. it ran perfect for 2 min till it ran outta gas and then died... so i turned my reg down to just under 5psi.. And it seems not to want to start, It keeps trying but no luck.. It was turned down lower to like 4psi and seemed like it needed a bit more fuel to get up and go... So back to 5psi... anyways it will almost catch and fire up but will struggle greatly.. it might run for 1 or 2 secs then die again... I cant seem to get this engine going.. It will obviously run by itself.. I dont see any visual float bowls on this Holley600? Any help that you can offer would be great.. I would love to get this thing to start up! thanks if you can help guys!!

any ideas what might not keep it running.. i am having my mechanic come over today and look at it... if i get this thing running i am gonna let it idel for 30min or more to let the motor build some more compression before i take it into the garage again... yeah so any ideas?

Sounds like your floats are stuck. On a holley you check the float level by removing the plugs on the sides of the bowls and IIRC the level should be at the bottom of the hole. If you remove the plugs, turn on the pump and see if fuel come gushing out the holes, then youll know your inlet valves are stuck or you floats are.

perfect u hit that right on the spot i found out by fiddeling a bit.. thanks for the help.. it seems the floats were stuck a bit so i hit them and it works now anyways another question..

I bought the Carter pump but it needs more power.. I want to wire up a kill switch inside the car.. what size fuse should i run to the pump etc.. what would you recommend for rigging this up? thanks
