    Call the carburetor shop. If they set it up and it is not right, they should supply you with the appropriate parts to tune it. It sounds like you may need more pump shot, so I would change to a bigger pump cam before you change to larger squirters.

    Have you checked the pump shot ?
    Remove the air cleaner, look down the carb, twist the throttle, notice if there is a strong steady squirt of gas happening.

    You may see no squirt, or a intermittant squirt, mist ,squirt.

    I'd guess you have a 30cc Accelerator Pump, this can be changed to a 50cc Accelerator Pump with a holley kit, also holley has a Accelerator Pump Cam Assortment Kit that will help you fine tune your set up, good luck with it and keep us posted.

    I think you should seriously consider buying this book or one like it. It has a ton of information on tuning Holley's
