Hi all,
I have a 350 SBC with a Holley 600. The motor is in a car that has been stored for 12 years, and the previous owner had turned it over regularly using 2 stroke gas. The car ran really rough and it was suggested that I remove the front of the carb and clean the primary jets etc. I did this, and removed as much of the old gasket as I could and replaed with new. Now when I try to start the car, it won't, backfiring badly. What have I done wrong, or where should I be looking? I don't think the float level was touched, but it may have been knocked during ceaning - would this cause it? I have a rebuild kit on order, but it may be a few weeks away (I am in New Zealand), but have a gasket set bought locally. Any thoughts?
Kind regards,
Andrew
