Bob,
I've heard that it might be better to let it crank in order to get some oil circulating before a sharp start-up. I don't know which way is better. Maybe an expert will comment on this.

Re: Mid year Holly Carb

Just filled my fuel bowl yesterday on my Holley after taking the fuel bowl and metering block off to clean them with carb cleaner. Removed the plug/screw used to verify float level and injected about 2 1/2 syringes of fresh fuel and dripped a small amount of the under the throttle plates to help. Started quickly. I also use the vent tube on my other Holley that does not have fuel float level sight hole. This procedure is used all the time with me since I don't drive the 68 and 70 as much since they are no longer daily drivers. Sure saves wear and tear on the starter. They start just like they were driven the day before.

Re: Mid year Holly Carb

Thanks for the reply guys. Sounds like it's an acceptable thing to do. I guess if I let it go for months the oil may be an issue, but for a week or 2 it sounds like an ok thing to do.

Thanks to all for taking the time to respond.
