Holley Carb hesitation

djames1 · 08-18-2006, 09:31 AM

I have a problem with my holley carb when I really give it the gas. If I gradually give the motor gas it will rev up just fine. If I really give it the gas it will hesitate almost to the point of stalling but then recover and rev up. I would appreciate the help.

Is this a double pumper or vacuum secondaries? Can you post the List number of the carb?

It is a vaccuum secondary. I don't have the list # right now.

Did you get it new or used?

What I have is a jet boat with a Ford 302 in it and a holley carb. I bought the boat brand new about six years ago. I have not done anything to modify it. Recently I started having this problem with the hesitation, so I am wondering what may be going wrong with the carb or could it be a clogged fuel filter. Not sure.

I apprecaite your help.

You might want to through a kit into it. It sounds like the accellerator pump isn't working correctly.
