Thread: New 496 wont run??

I realize this is not exactly a Holley Carb, but it's based on one.

Fuel level on a Holley is set so the fuel level is at the BOTTOM of the sight hole. Above that level the carbs flood.

If it was me I think the first thing I would do is drop the fuel level (in hot climates with todays gas I have found running the level even a bit lower to compensate for fuel expansion also helps

Yes I would agree but I read the manufacture information on this carb setup and they state that seeing it has the sight glass you should set the float level as a base where you can see half in the sight glass.
