View Full Version : Marine carb help--still need help
I have a Kodiak 350 with a Holly 4 bbl carb that was rebuilt last year. Just before you get into the 4 bbl it starts to fall on its face until you hit it harder then it kicks in and all is well. I am sure there is just an adjustment somewhere to help.
Ideas?

Power valve, aka accelerator pump? :shrug: Does it have mechanical or vacuum secondaries?

Power valve is good check. See what vacume pressure you have at idle and pick a power valve 2 lbs less . Make shure your excellerator pumps are working . Does it have vacume or mechanical 2ndaries ? Besides checking float levels , choke adjustments , what meter plates you have etc. But before you ever touch a carb , check your timing and advance .
Thanks for the ideas, but I really am not a wrench guy when it comes to carbs.
Like I said it was rebuilt last year and runs great except if I ease into the 4 bbl. If I hit it hard everything is just fine. There is no black smoke, no excessive fuel usage, idle is just right.
Maybe somebody would like to go springer fishing with tools?
