http://documents.holley.com/techlibrary_4150_4160_exploded_view.pdf Part 118, I tore my carb down and somebody never put these hogs back in. Might explain the over-fueling issue I was having last season. Does anybody know what size these are stock in the 7159? Thanks! |

Also, what does everybody do for the dry float settings? The instructions in the rebuild kit leave them out completely |

Stock jets for a list 7159 carb are #59 When you have the bowl upside down in your hand, the top of the float should be parallel to the top of the bowl as a starting point Here's a picture, just remember the bowl is upside down so the top is on the bottom  You may have to adjust the float level to be a little lower, then again you might not In this picture, borrowed from some old post here on CCF, the float isn't quite parallel with the top of the bowl so the float level is a little lower. If you ask a dozen people, 6 will say adjust it parallel and the other 6 will say slightly lower due to the engine mounting angle.
