Holly 4160 carb

Post by Tigerfan » Thu Mar 05, 2015 8:49 am

Hi Guys,
I have Holly carb and Eldlebrok manifold fitted to my 260 1965 tiger.
I seem to have difficulty starting the car after its been left for a while, say a month. I have to pump the accelerater furiously with full choke until it will eventually catches. I would normally expect this to flood the engine? Once started it starts again easily after that.
I'm wondering if the accelerator pump isn't working as I dont see a gush of fuel entering the carb when pumping the throttle by hand from under the bonnet.
Any comments/advice would be appreciated, thanks.
Regards
Rich
