Holley 1945 issues

Most Holley 1945s have a nitrophyl float. It's possible that the float is absorbing fuel, getting heavy, and starting to flood the engine. Are the plugs black? Other than that, it might just be time for a new fuel filter and a good old carb cleaning.

On the other hand, many people mistake ignition problems for carb problems. How's the tuneup?

plugs are the proper color. I recently tested the ignition system and the coil and distributor etc are all working properly. Time for a carb rebuild?
