    First thing i'd check is the float levels. Sounds like you're sucking the gas down and not able to replenish it fast enough. Have you changed the fuel pump. If not, that would be my second guess.:)

    You need to install a dashpot on the carb to cushion your throttle linkage when jumping off the throttle. Your local Holley dealer can supply you with the part number. It is a common problem when using a manual linkage carb.
