marine carb clarification
Been looking for a carb. I was always under the impression a holly marine carb had the J tube. I can't tell you how many I've looked at and was told that's not true. What's the story??

Holley marine carbs do have J tubes. Its a USCG safety requirement.

Marine Holley's
Throtlle plate shafts o-ringed so gas doesn't leak out
|
are you sure on that...I have pulled the shafts out of some marine holleys and there were no o-rings ? Rob
|
I don't know about o-rings, but all the Holley's I've pulled apart have had white teflon bushings in them. This is to keep them from sucking air. Thus helping to keep air to fuel ratios correct.

I have a marine Holly 800 dp just rebuilt for sale.
|
Not sure about o ring thing, I haven't pulled throttle plates out of a marine holley in years. But I remember there is some thing different around throttle plate shafts so when it floods bad, gas doesn't leak from shafts out on to engine. It keeps the gas contained in carb and dumps into engine. I know I have a book or article somewhere about the difference, I will have to try and find it.
|
I bought my last Holly 850 carbs from A.E.D. and they know what they are doing and the only difference is the J tubes are turn around to face the intake of the carb.
|
So basically "no j tube", "no marine carb".
|
If J tube is only difference then change them and you would be all set???
