Congrats, now you`ll sleep better:-D I believe prw.val.`s operate @ low vac. higher R`s. Your`s is cruse/possibly heat related right? submerge and/or weigh floats. Blow out passeges, jets, vents, check sintered filters if clogged? weird indeed. You should still be under warrenty for parts:clock: also I think your pressure is spot on.

I soak my holley sintered bronze in carb clean or brake clean. Check for junk in your needle/seat. Take the metering block(s) off and blow compressed air through all the orifices. I bet its at the filters or in the needle/seats though. Just do a teardown and inspection and let us know what you find.

I took the Holley completely apart and blew out everything hole with compressed air. All I had was a little film of grim on the bottom of the front bowl... nothing in the rear bowl. The floats looked fine. I did not submerge them however. I guess I need to do that to make sure. The power valves are fine... they move when I apply suction to them.

If that filtration device is one of those sintered bronze things (looks like a bunch of tiny metal balls mashed together), I'd take it out and run a normal canister filter. They've aggravated starvation issues for me in the past. Just out of curiosity - if it is one of the sintered units, is it in the line on the pump side of the gauge?

The sintered filter is located in the red circle of the picture. I'm thinking that Summit fuel log has something to do with it now that the carb is and was clean in my opinion. Remember I did not have this problem until the temperature got warm in my region. If it is vapor locking there in the fuel log now that the motor temperature is down then I guess I'll have to ditch that thing and try a different approach.

Today I drove without the electric fan on in which it is a pusher and the temperature stayed at 185* every where I went. Just seeing if it made a difference in which it really didn't. I guess I can use it as a back up in stalled traffic or something. It was around 93* at the time.
