    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
