  • Quick video today to go over tuning on the accelerator pump circuit on a holley carb. I get tons of messages everyday about hesitation on acceleration or the car misfires while trying to change lanes. theres a lot of info here so I hope you can use it well to tune you holley carburetor. This info works well on any holley carb including the holley 600, holley 650, holley 750, even the holley 2 barrel and holley spreadbore carbs should be working exactly the same so its pretty universal info.

    Finally getting around to making this video, everyone loves the HP main bodies because they look super racecar with the adjustable air bleeds on top. What if I was to tell you that you can install custom air bleeds on any holley carb as long as its a squarebore? There is just enough meat on the top of these older holley carbs to allow you to install the adjustable bleeds, but you would be very careful when doing so because you can ruin your main body real quick!

    HOW TO SET HOLLEY IDLE MIXTURE AND IDLE SPEED | Holley Carb Secrets | Holley Carburetor
    After A long while I have put the most cohesive method of setting up the idle on your holley carb. Setting the idle mixture screws and getting your engine to run clean without having to buy any special tools. In this video I manage to set up the idle in less than 15 mins and also do it quickly and easily. As of right now, the holley carb on the 318 duster is perfectly set up in both idle mixture and idle speed. The carburetor in question is a DEMON 625, an older barry grant holley copy before holley bought out DEMON. It took a little bit of work, but I've got this set up perfectly.

    I have recently been gathering all the info I can find about holley type carbs it looks like they can be heavily modified for competition very impressive some models even come with linkage to allow all four barrels to open at the same time but I think for the street an edelbrock might be a better choice I think they handle down time better i.e. classic car sitting more than driven modern day gas is very clean adding marvel oil helps a lot with evaporation leaves a nice oily film I will continue to learn about all carbs I am a techno freak thank you for your tutorials

    Great video! I’ve recently been working on my early 600 trying to lean out the transition circuit. My car has always fouled the plugs. When I got my AFR gauge I found that it was constantly rich at idle and cruise. Looking at the metering block it didn’t have any sort of idle feed restriction that I could see. I tapped the hole and drilled some plugs I bought. I now have a .031 IFR, now I can get my mixtures and my cruise AFR right but have introduced a flat spot just like you are talking about. I will try upping the float level and squirters like you mention.
    Thanks heaps

      Have you seen metering blocks that don’t have any drilling’s in the vertical part of the emulsion well? I say my carb is early because it has an accelerator pump transfer tube. I have 2 like this with no drilling’s in the emulsion. I looked at a metering block that has no tube, I assume a later type, and it has 2 drilling’s about 0.25. I read somewhere that air into the emulsion at float level will allow the fuel to be drawn up sooner, bringing the main circuit on earlier. I can’t swap metering blocks because of the little tube. I will definitely try float level and squirted before I start modifying the emulsion. I just wondered your thoughts on it

    • @NightWrencher
      @NightWrencher  3 года назад +1

      Yeah I have a few like that but you actally can swap to later blocks. Tap the hole in the main body for a plug, drill it out to the right size and you should be good to go.

    Learn a lot of stuff from your vid’s great knowledge. My problem is at steady cruising on the highway afr is perfect then step on the throttle and goes way lean should I be looking at the accelerator pump or start at the power valve.

    • @NightWrencher
      @NightWrencher  Год назад

      I would be looking at the power valve. If you know what vacuum reading you are at and what vacuum reading the engine starts going lean, you can select the right power valve for your combination

    Great video! Cleared up a lot. I'm confused on cams though. I have a 4160 that I haven't touched the accelerator pump circuit on and before learning about it tried to fix my lean stumble with a higher power valve. Should I try a different cam first or step up the accelerator pump valve size?

    • @NightWrencher
      @NightWrencher  2 года назад

      The accel pump and power valve circuits are active at 2 different times. If the lean stumble is apparent instantly after hitting the throttle then its the accel pump circuit. If it lingers under heavy throttle its the PV circuit. Once you identify which one it is you can figure the rest out pretty easily. I havnt had too much luck in just switching the cams, I've had much pretty good results with installing different size squirters when trying to cure a lean stumble

    • @NightWrencher
      @NightWrencher  2 года назад

      ruclips.net/video/cIUhlHltPpM/видео.html already done. Chances are you'll need to drill into the throttle blades to let enough air in at idle. Someone did a videonon drilling them out. Ideally youll want to go 4bbl so you have 4 corner adjustment but if you need to run a 2bbl youll probably need to drill it out

    • @zdravkomomci7570
      @zdravkomomci7570 2 года назад +1

      @@NightWrencher its either drilling the blades or getting an adjustable metering block with adj bleeds. I heard people using thin wire to restrict the idle fuel circuit to lean the mix out, just thought maybe someone had a different idea all good thanks for replying

    • @NightWrencher
      @NightWrencher  2 года назад +2

      That's true, but if your transition is already set up well, you don't want to mess with the IFR because you'll change the setting in the transition. If the issue is related only to the idle circuit, you need to focus on those two things. Air bleeds and IFR will affect the whole curve so understand what you are planning on doing before you make permanent changes.

      I've already increased the jets from 31 to 35. I am now considering changing the pump cam, but not sure to what size as I am currently using the pink cam. Is there a science behind selecting or simply trial and error?

    • @NightWrencher
      @NightWrencher  Год назад

      @@killtraccskill_onthe_beat1824 can you explain what you mean by the secondaries are not coming in soon enough? On a double pumper, the primaries and secondaries are tied together using progressive linkage so the more you accelerate on the primaries, the more the secondary butterflies will open so please describe your issue as best as you can so I can help you identify the correct circuit that is having an issue.

    • @killtraccskill_onthe_beat1824
      @killtraccskill_onthe_beat1824 Год назад

      @NightWrencher I'm not a mechanic at all, but I'll try to explain better. It appears that when accelerating the primary shot starts and finishes a split second before the secondary begins. It's during the split second where the hesitation is happening.
      When reving at higher RPMs, there's no hesitation at all.
      Sorry if I'm not clear with my expectations

    I enjoy your videos, however you should not drill a Holley jet because Holley jets are flowed unlike other jets

    • @NightWrencher
      @NightWrencher  Год назад +1

      Thats actually not totally correct and heres why. If you take a 65 jet and drill it out to a size 70 jet, it will not flow like a 70 jet. We can agree on that. But, if you keep track of where you start and you know exactly what you are drilling to, reguardless of whether or not a holley jet flows "better", you can dial in your air fuel ratio no problem. Thats what the old school racers used to do. Now, you cant flip flop between holley jets and drilled jets. Pick one route, and stick to it or you'll make a mess.

      @@NightWrencher I appreciate that. I am a complete novice so I'm sorry if any of my questions or explanations are dumb. I'm having an issue where I idle fine, but when I rev the engine, it bogs midway through and then if I rev harder it sorts itself out. This causes me to stall at intersections and red lights unless I accelerate very very slowly. I have a feeling something is wrong with my accelerator pump or the connections to it.
