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??

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.

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.
