And so, what? The carb is the ugly drunk gal at the bar, but "she's always there?" LOL
But I've had my share of carb problelms, too. Original 440-6 carbs were a PITA because metering plates. I've had my share of leaking Holleys. I hated the 70's--80's smog carbs, and have never figured out some of the Jap stuff. I had two DP Holley spread bores on my 340 and over time both had same problem. The secondaries got sticky and would stick a bit open and act like a REAL fast idle cam. Really disturbing. I used to rebuild Holleys "moonlight" in the Navy. Have had at least 4 the power valves were bad out of the box, and ended up sticking the old one back in, ran fine.
