Holley/Demon Carb stumble
Curiosity got the best of me, so I dug out my Silver Claw 750 and popped the baseplate off.
I haven’t run this on anything since I went through it.
Good thing...... it wouldn’t have idled.
This is a good example of not paying attention when putting things back together.
This carb has a baseplate that will work with the idle feed hole in the body being in the location for either a 1.687 or 1.750 baseplate.
There is a slot to accommodate either.
IF....... you run the correct gasket.
This main body uses a 1.687 baseplate...... but the idle feed hole is in the 1.750 location.
The gasket that was in there was for 1.687...... and as such, had the idle feed hole in the body blocked off.
This would have been one of those “no worky” situations.
