Dear all,
I got my carb malfunction after different testing with an other one of a friend of mine. By exchanging carb my boat was running perfectly well. I get some pricing and shipping to france which is quit big at the end. I have seen that there are some rebuild kit. Is it hard to rebuild a carb? Will it work as a new one or what is the difference between rebuilding a carb and get a new one at the end ? Is there some instruction on process ? regards Serge |

It is not hard to rebuild a Holley - in fact one of the easiest to work on.
Kit is low price compared to new carb - but a small chance it still will not function 100% when it is done. I think the best course of action is to get the carb # from the inside of the air (intake) horn & email that to the Holley website so they can find the correct kit for you to buy. There are plenty of instructions on the internet too. |

The guys on this website are better step by step instructions than you would get from the manufacturer anyways. Get a kit and give it a try. If it doesn't work out you will only bee out 100 bucks or so and have a much more firm understanding of how and why your carburetor works.
