Carb guys in here....
Alright, so I am freshining up my 800cfm Holleys and I accidentally kinda broke the overflow tube :eek: on the primary side. How do you get those things outta there to replace them? Or am I skee-rewed? Also, is that something I can get anywhere?
|
Can you get a pair of pliers on what is left? Pliers and maybe some heat from a small propane torch should work. Twist and pull...if it has to be drilled out, you might consider going to a machine shop for help. You can likely find the part # on Holley's website and then try Jegs, Summit or Google.
|
ARE YOU F**KING KIDDING ME ? A TORCH ON A CARB ? DUDE...TAKE YOUR CARB ADVICE ELSEWHERE. WOW !! The tubes are pressed in. Try and work them out the best you can, or maybe an easy out gently. Id call Summit Racing, or Holley directly. Take your time..you'll get it out.
|
Oh yeah, that is a good idea. I just didnt know if they epoxy them in or if it was simply a press-fit. Coolio. Thanks.
|
Just warm the area up with a heat gun and pull it out with a small pair of vise grips.
|
Right on fells.... I used a small torch (the carb is off and completely disassembled) and got it out in two seconds. Already ordered replacements and shipped 2nd day air.
