I didn't say 'blow'. I'm sure if you've been thru a lot of carbs that Holleys are just like Motorcraft 2 bbls, the valve diaphram goes bad. When it does, it will run pig rich fronm fuel running straight from the bottom of the bowl into the manifold.

I've ever seen any of them that I thought were 'blown' as well. The ones I see are from being old and attacked by something in the fuel.

I agree with all your observations.
