Holley carb, continually problem

[Caseyrhe 650]

Why would the accel pump squirter needle keep getting stuck. I can take the squirter off, spray carb cleaner on it, let it set for 2-3 min then it frees up, reassemble and it works great. Let the car sit more than 2 days and it gets stuck again. New accel pump installed, fuel level set to where it barely dribbles out, new fuel filter, and new gas. Holley 600 is less than a year old.

Are you using non-ethanol gas?

[Caseyrhe 650]

No

Don’t have any issues with other 2 stangs, both holley’s but 735’s

Does the valve have a viton/rubber tip? Supposed to be steel. Steve

[Caseyrhe 650]

Not sure,,might make it out to the shop to ck that out. 
just remove squirter and washers again and pump accel to remove? Will put rag in Venturi to keep from losing anything

If it sticks after sitting more that 2 days, drive it every other day. You're welcome. 

No idea actually. 

[Caseyrhe 650]

Got the needle out, all metal, no rubber tip. Cleaned up and reinstalled. Fired it up and took her for a quick spin. Will see what Tues night

Have you used octane booster when you fill up your tank? The needle on my Holley Ultra XP was sticking until I started using the octane booster. If I fill up and don’t put in the octane booster right away it starts sticking again. I’ve already taken the needle out and cleaned it prior to using the octane booster and continued to stick.

It wouldn't take too many fill ups along with a can of octane booster to pay for a new carburetor.

Well, the float needle stuck open now, so fired up and had gas shooting out of overflow. Saw images of jay leno. So now In process of draining tank, disposing of gas is a real pain these days. Taking to deer lease a couple of gallon at a time to dispose. Found a place fairly close with non ethanol gas to put back in.

Why are you disposing the gas instead of putting it in your other vehicles?

[Caseyrhe 650]

It’s cost more to get those fixed if the gas is bad.

Petroleum products make pretty good weed killer. Or so I've heard.

The new gas will eat aluminum ,i put 3 fuel pumps on my sand blaster ,it is sitting now because it ate the last one also . It eats the diaphragm ,or dries it out ,if is sits a while it will eat up the aluminum. For the hollies i always kit them with the alcahol kits or the excelerator  pumps dry out and crack and will no longer pump . The green alcahol pumps stop that  .

Not sure why the float needle would stick unless it is a rubber tip needle ,if it is try a metal tip needle

Well, after cleaning the Holley carb out numerous time, draining tank, cleaning tank, blowing out fuel line, and putting 5 gallons of non ethanol gas, finally had enough!!

Pulled the alum intake and put the factory 2 barrel CI intake on and rebuilt the 2100. Runs like a scalded dog now, yahoey.

Have an elect choke ordered, that should be here Sat. 
 

Bob, replaced the condenser and haven’t had an issue yet. Knock on wood.

Welp, looks like you'll be running the 2v for a while. I almost called yesterday to check up on ya. Good to hear about the condenser.
