Whar happens in a used carb is that gas left in there turns to varnish, and it gums up the inside. Your float and needle valve are probably stuck, and sometimes the only fix is to soak the carb and rebuild it.
I'm not a Holley guy, but don't they have float adjusting screws on each bowl??

I don't know fi the floats have adjustment screws. I'll have to look into it. I wonder if I should just start with another carb? I guess I can always just take the Edelbrock 650 off my other V8 an run it on this one for a while.
