I was working with one of the Holley techs at the NHRA Sports Nationals years ago when it was still being held at Beech Bend Raceway in Bowling Green, Ky. We were offering free tech advice and a quick carburetor "go thru" for racers who were having carb problems.
The third guy of the morning brought up his 800 cfm double pumper and drawled, "she just won't idle at a steady rpm."
The tech asked, "are you using an inline fuel filter?" as he pulled out and inspected the needle and seat.
"Absolutely," was his reply.
"I don't know what kind of filter your using," questioned the rep as he removed the primary floatbowl and dumped a half a handful of sand onto the table, "but you better get your money back."
Have you had any similar experiences? Post a comment.
I have worked in the high performance parts industry since 1968. During that time I have made numerous contacts with wholesalers and manufacturers who, from time to time, have large quantities of good quality merchandise available at way below the normal pricing. I am pleased to be able to offer you some of those items. While viewing my blog I hope that you are amused with some of the things that have happened over the years. Please leave a comment.
