Stalling Issues

I have a starting problem now since winter storage. 340 with Holley 650. Car starts but have to keep revs up to keep running ?? Possible float stuck in Carb ??

Or vacuum leak. Does it smell like fuel? Check fuel filter for water, debris. Just got to do your own process of elimination.

coul dbe a stuck float or dirt in the needle & seat holding the inlet valve open , you shoul dbe able to see ti flooding , often just tapping on the carb will loosen it , could be a number of other things too

Check the gap in the dist too , it should be .008 between the pick up & reluctor

Well. Carb bowl was full of pipe thread sealant from double pumper line. Problem solved. Thanks !

HOLLEY USES A flare fitting to seal the fuel line so teflon is not nessisary & will cause problems as you discovered
