Re: carb question

You need a much better discription that "Holley 750".
There should be a list number on the front of the choke horn, post that.

"Down jetted" concerns me. Who did it and why? Do you know what jets are in it?
My first thought is that you are having a big "lean stumble", but we need more information.

Re: carb question

Guessing that carb was running pig rich on a 350 so he ran smaller primary jets.

Re: carb question

Sounds like it needs basic tuning.

Sounds like the acellerator pump went south...the carb has to be removed to replace it...since the carb has to come off anyway...you might as well overhaul it.

All adjustment / overhaul instructions can be downloaded from the tech section at Holley.com...no charge...just find your carb and print the info...I'd purchase the parts at Summit Racing...they have the best prices.

Re: carb question

The first thing I would check would be the float levels. There is a plug on the side of the fuel bowls. Remove these plugs & the fusl level should be at the bottom of the hole. You use the adjustment on top the bowl to change it.
