Lets get her started!~
Hello!
GoodBye Snow! ![]() ![]() OK I put my rebuilt Holley on and am wondering what is the best way to get her running for the first time? I blew out the fuel lines and drained the tank and put on a new filter. So I need to get the fuel to the carb. Should I put some fuel down the carb and let it suck it up Or should I take the fuel line off the carb and turn it over till it spills out then put the line back on? How long does it take for the bowls to fill up? Cheers ![]()

Just close your choke and crank it a few times -should fire right off.

I always squirt fuel into the bowls via the bowl vents. It saves alot of cranking.

don't pour fuel down the carb, because if it back fires back up through the carb, it will blow the power valve.
