What do you guys think about the holley economaster. I need a new carb due to the butterfly is worn out. I am getting 4 to 6 mpg and thats just normal easy in town driving. How is the holley economaster. I found one for 250 shipped and it is brand new. I also found one for $245 shupped. Just tell me what you think about them and if this is a good price. Thank you all for your time.

 

edelbrock is the only way to go "set it and forget it" i gave up on hollys years ago due to their always needing to be reset thats why i have 2 or 3 sitting in my parts room that i will never use again and if you change out the intake to match the 600 cfm 4bbl you will have a good running engine

 

The butterfly is worn out?

Eveyone I know finds Holleys easier to tune. I actually have a Holley Truck Avenger no the way right now.

 

i hope it works for you i just didnt have good luck with all the ones i had the biggest problem was flooding or dumping fuel due to the float setting not staying where it was supossed/blowing power valves ect to all these carbs were new i would hope holly fixed this problem by now as the last 30 years havnt being any differnt but good luck

 

Sounds like you were just running too much fuel pressure.

Yes it is sucking air through the the throttle linkage. I guess thats not the butterfly but you know where the throttle goes into the carb. It has a tiny bit and i do mean a very very tiny bit of play there. I can spray b12 on the throttle right where it goes into the carb housing while it is running and it will idle up .

 

Well some people hate holleys and some love them. I think if you get one made on friday your screwed and if you get one made on monday then thats the same. Im not trying to take a $250 gamble and get a holley andit not run any better. Im getting about 4 to 6 mpg and have done everything. The problem im having is a small surge every now and then at idle and too when i go to turn in a road slowing down after i let off the gas and get back into it , if you just hit the gas it will die. If you feather it a tad it does fine. Its not that bad bud its not right eather and i want it right. It is running rich i can smell it and also it has that spitter sound in the exhaust. It is very hadr to explain but i know it cant be much. The truck is a tank in 4x4!!
124,000 miles

 

I guess maybe i should just put a rebuilt motorcraft 2bbl back on it. I dont want to buy a intake right now so 2bbl is gonna have to suffice for the time being
ive asked before but has anybody got a carb through guaranteed carburetors online site?
$178 with gasket
