Okay Kids,,the accellerator pump diaphram had a pinhole in it,,,,I would have thought that would have been included in the rebuild kit,,,NOT SO.
So when you rebuild your carb or as I did have someone else do it,,replace that diaphram....I had the guy bring the carb back to me 3 times before he finally figured it out,,,,good thing I only had to pay for one rebuild...Once he told me what the problem was I remembered having a similar problem with the holley on my 68 firechicken,,,finally tossed the holley and replaced with a roachester...
Now after browsing the forum I want to replace the intake manifold with a 4 bbl and install and edelbrock 500...got one on my 41 IHC and it is an awesome carb
Thanks for all the feedback!
